The ‘Vizag Open Golf 2024‘ national tournament which was formally launched on 2 October 2 under the auspices of Professional Golf Tour India (PGTI) at the East Point Gold Club, Visakhapatnam, with the intention of promoting professional golfers, concluded on 5 October. Hundreds of athletes, professionals and enthusiasts from all over the country participated in it. Kandula Durgesh said that sportspersons from the State should strive to excel at the national and international level and suggested that sports should be a part of life.
The PGTI successfully organised a prestigious event which showcases the highest level of professional golfers in India.
