The 2022 season saw massive changes in the sport of golf. Though the year may be coming to an end, the developments in the sport keep continuing to adapt. In the latest report, European Tour along with PGA Tour has decided to join hands with the Professional Golf Tour of India(PGTI), extending their relationship chain across the continents.

Over the years, the players at the PGTI, who are mostly Indians, have used the Tour as a stepping stone to get into the Asian Tour. In 2009, the PGTI became a member of the International Federation of PGA Tours.

Despite that, it took the Tour a decade to become part of the Official World Golf Rankings system. All that is going to further enhance from next season onwards for the PGTI.
