I believe India is a sleeping giant in golf: Norman

Australian golf legend Greg Norman believes India is a "sleeping giant" in the game whose potential can be unlocked with more international tournaments coming to its shores.

NEW DELHI: The 69-year-old, speaking on the sidelines of the Asian Tour's International Series at Gurugram's DLF Golf and Country Club that was won by Ollie Schniederjans (US) on Sunday, also batted for LIV Tour's foray into India.

"I do believe India is a sleeping giant in golf. If you just look at the infancy of golf in India, it's really just the beginning. When you look at the opportunities for the next 25 years—essentially a generation—India is right in the middle of it. If you go back a decade or 15 years and look at the impact of Indian women golfers on the LPGA, their success has resonated across the country," said Norman, whose tenure as CEO of the breakaway LIV Tour ended recently.
