32-year-old, a record nine-time winner on the Asian Tour and a European Tour winner, Gaganjeet Bhullar, says, “It has been a time of struggle for everyone. So I am looking forward to being in action. As pro golfers, this is the least we can do. I can’t wait to get back on the course.”
When asked, how competitive the event will get, given all four are seasoned sports persons, Bhullar added, “Here, it is not about winning or losing. The main objective is raising money for the charity and putting up a good show. Ofcourse, we will all do our best but I don’t suppose competition will be on anyone’s mind that day.”
