Business Today has announced the 27th season of BT Golf in partnership with the DP World Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), bringing together corporate leadership and professional sport. The partnership was announced at the Qutub Golf Course in New Delhi, with both organisations aiming to increase golf’s visibility, encourage greater participation among business leaders and introduce the sport to a wider audience.

According to an Business Today report, the preview event marked the return of the long-running corporate golf property. Cricketing icon and avid golfer Kapil Dev, President of DP World PGTI, joined professional golfers and senior editors for a pitch-and-putt session. The initiative aims to strengthen BT Golf’s position as a leading golf platform for chief executives and other corporate leaders.

The collaboration combines Business Today’s established connection with India’s business community with DP World PGTI’s expertise in professional golf tournaments. The two organisations plan to make the sport more accessible and engaging for business professionals and sports enthusiasts. The tournament will continue its multi-city format across major corporate hubs, with plans to expand to more locations in the future.

Kapil Dev, President of DP World PGTI, said the partnership would encourage India Inc. to experience the discipline, patience and sportsmanship associated with golf. He added that it was encouraging to see Business Today and DP World PGTI working together to take the sport to a wider audience.

He noted that strengthening the partnership with DP World PGTI would help expand the reach of Indian golf, making it more visible and engaging for corporate leaders and sports enthusiasts.

Amandeep Johl, CEO of DP World PGTI, said the partnership brings together professional golf and corporate India. He highlighted that BT Golf offers professional golfers an opportunity to interact with leading business figures and build meaningful relationships, while promoting the values of integrity, discipline and sportsmanship.
