Business Today Golf is back with record participations

Anju Razdan, Siddharth Sangwan and Saurabh Sood won the ladies, 0 to 14 handicap, and 15 to 24 handicap categories of the inaugural Royal Ranthambore presents Business Today Golf 2022-23 edition at the Classic Golf and Country Club on Sunday.

With corporate Delhi turning out in force for the long-awaited return of India’s most exclusive, by-invitation golf tournament, presented by Royal Ranthambore, the Jack Nicklaus course was abuzz with activity throughout a cool, and crisp winter morning. Noted sports and lifestyle apparel brand Nautica, Indian Oil Corporation Rajasthan Tourism, and Titan Corporate Business Group were the other sponsors for the event.

India’s path-breaking woman golfer Simi Mehra and former India all-rounder Suresh Raina were the guests of honour at the well-attended and boisterous prize presentation ceremony held on the Classic course’s clubhouse lawns.

Raina, who has picked up golf in the past couple of years, took time out to play a few holes. “Just started playing,” he said with a smile. “It was fun out here today. This is a great game and I hope more and more people take to it. Thanks to BT Golf for putting together this fabulous event.”

“Business Today has always been a great supporter of women's golf, and I believe even after the Covid, BT will continue to support women's golf with a similar passion” said Simi Mehra.

A field of over a hundred golfers, including a good number women who joined the newly-introduced ladies section of the tournament teed off in chilly conditions but quickly warmed to the task of getting good scores on the card.
