Shubhankar Sharma to debut at Paris Olympics
Shubhankar Sharma, currently the highest-ranked Indian in men’s professional golf globally, and Gaganjeet Bhullar both finished among the top 60 golfers in the Olympic Golf Rankings (OGR). Their impressive performance during the qualifying window until June 17 earned them the opportunity to tee off for India at the Paris Olympics.
At just 27 years old, Shubhankar Sharma has already made significant waves in the golfing world. He is a two-time winner on the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour) and boasts eight career titles. His recent signing as the Brand Ambassador of Roundglass Sports further underscores his rising profile. Shubhankar’s game is trending in the right direction, and he is eager to deliver on the Olympic stage.
Joining Shubhankar is Gaganjeet Bhullar, another seasoned Indian golfer. Bhullar, with an Olympic rank of 54, will also make his Olympic debut. His experience and skill add depth to the Indian contingent, and he aims to contribute to the team’s success in Paris.
In the women’s tournament, India will be represented by Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar. Together, they form a strong and experienced team, ready to compete at the highest level.
