PGTI and Business Today launch 27th BT Golf season

The Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) has announced a partnership with Business Today to launch the 27th season of the BT Golf tournament, aiming to expand the sport’s appeal among corporate leaders in India.

The announcement was made at Qutub Golf Course in New Delhi during a preview event attended by Kapil Dev, President of PGTI and former cricketing icon, alongside professional golfers and senior editors. The event featured a pitch-and-putt session to mark the return of the renowned corporate golf tournament.

This collaboration seeks to increase the visibility of golf as a competitive and engaging sport tailored for chief executives and senior business figures. The partnership combines Business Today’s strong ties to India’s business community with DP World PGTI’s experience in organising professional golf tournaments.

The 2026 tournament season will continue to follow a multi-city format across major corporate hubs, with plans for further expansion underway.

Kapil Dev said, “We aim to encourage India Inc to experience the discipline, patience, and sportsmanship that golf represents. It is encouraging to see Business Today and DP World PGTI working together to take the sport to a wider audience.”

Dinesh Bhatia, Group CEO of India Today Group, stated, “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.”

Amandeep Johl, CEO of DP World PGTI, added, “Our partnership with Business Today brings together the worlds of professional golf and corporate India. BT Golf provides a wonderful platform to promote the sport and its values of integrity, discipline and sportsmanship. Importantly, this partnership will greatly benefit our professional golfers by providing them with a unique opportunity to interact and build meaningful relationships with some of India’s leading business leaders. We look forward to expanding the reach of golf and creating greater opportunities for our players.”

Alok Nair, Chief Operating Officer of Business Today, commented, “For over three decades, Business Today has been at the forefront of India’s business conversations, connecting influential leaders and shaping the nation’s corporate narrative. Business Today Golf is where business meets the greens. What makes BT Golf truly special is the community it has built while being India’s first corporate golf platform for 27 years. Year after year, it brings together some of the sharpest minds from across industries in a spirit of healthy competition and camaraderie. Looking forward to teeing off for the 27th edition with DP World PGTI across 8 cities starting with Kolkata on October 31 at the iconic Tollygunge Club.”
