We are investing in the next generation of golfers and ensuring the sport continues to grow globally." — Daniel van Otterdijk, Group Chief Communications Officer, DP World
Hemant Kumar Ruia, Country Manager for DP World India Subcontinent, emphasized the role of specialized infrastructure: "Investing in the right infrastructure is key to unlocking the next generation of talent. Through our collaboration with ZEN GOLF, we are helping create opportunities for young players to develop their skills and pursue their passion."
Shyam Grover, Managing Director of ZEN GOLF Range & Academy, noted the timing of the delivery: "India’s golf ecosystem is evolving rapidly... Having a dedicated, well-equipped space helps us to build more structured programmes and grow the game locally, ultimately helping more young golfers develop with confidence."
The Clubhouse programme is set for further international expansion over the coming years. These launches will continue to be synchronized with key dates on the global golf calendar, leveraging DP World’s high-profile roles as the title partner of the DP World Tour and a Worldwide Partner of the Ryder Cup.
