Asian Games 2026: Indian golfers face star-studded field as campaign begins
India's six-member golf team is preparing to compete at the 2026 Asian Games, featuring a mix of experienced professionals and rising stars. The squad aims to improve India's historical medal record in the sport as they face a highly competitive international field.
Why it matters
The Asian Games are a major regional sporting event, and India's performance reflects the growing professionalization and depth of its domestic golf circuit.
India’s six-member golf contingent, led by 2023 silver medallist Aditi Ashok, will have its task cut out against a star-studded field when it begins its Asian Games campaign on Wednesday (September 29, 2026).
With 66 men and 45 women in the field, players will not have to worry about making cuts as they often do on the professional circuit and can go all out. With two of the three best scores counting towards the team medals, India will fancy its chances with a squad that has considerable depth.
