DP World PGTI and Business Today announce 27th season of BT Golf

New Delhi: The DP World Professional Golf Tour of India (DP World PGTI), the governing and sanctioning body for men’s professional golf in the country, has partnered with Business Today to strengthen the connection between corporate leadership and professional sport.

The partnership was announced at the Qutub Golf Course in New Delhi, with both organisations aiming to bring greater visibility, engagement and excitement to golf.

The preview event was attended by DP World PGTI President and cricket legend Kapil Dev, professional golfers and senior editors, who took part in a pitch-and-putt session to mark the return of the prestigious corporate golf property.

The initiative aims to enhance golf’s appeal among corporate leaders and establish the platform as a premier golfing destination for CEOs, while fostering a more vibrant, engaging and competitive environment for the sport.

The ongoing collaboration strategically merges Business Today’s deep-rooted connection with India's business ecosystem with DP World PGTI’s professional tournament expertise. Together, the organizations aim to drive mainstream visibility, spark deeper engagement among business professionals, and bring the sport closer to a broader audience. As part of this growth strategy, the tournament will maintain its popular multi-city format across major corporate hubs, with plans already underway to add more locations in the future.

Speaking about the partnership Dinesh Bhatia, Group CEO, India Today Group, said, "BT Golf has, over the years, created a distinctive platform at the intersection of sport and business. By strengthening our partnership with the DP World PGTI, we are committed to expanding the horizons of Indian golf, making it more visible and engaging for corporate leaders and sports enthusiasts alike."
