Mr. A S Sahney, Chairman, IndianOil, said, “As we gear up to tee off the silver
jubilee edition of the IndianOil SERVO Masters Golf Tournament, we take
immense pride in how this championship has evolved into one of the most
respected events on India’s professional golf calendar. Over the past twenty-five
years, the SERVO Masters has not only showcased exceptional talent but also
strengthened the bond between IndianOil and the sporting community.
“This year’s tournament, featuring leading professional golfers from India and
abroad, reflects our continued commitment to promoting sporting excellence
and fostering global connections through the spirit of the game.
“At IndianOil, we believe that just as energy fuels progress, sport fuels
inspiration. The SERVO Masters stands as a testament to our vision to energize
dreams, empower people, and champion a brighter, more inclusive future.”
Mr. Kapil Dev, President, PGTI, said, “Running a tournament for 25 years is
very commendable. After 25 years, any company that continues to support a
sport with such commitment becomes a legend—and IndianOil truly is one. At
PGTI, we are deeply touched and grateful for their support.
“This tournament started as a small, local event, and today it has grown into
one that every professional golfer looks forward to playing in each year. In a
country where golf is still quite young, IndianOil has nurtured the game with
consistency and passion for a quarter of a century. On behalf of PGTI, we take
great pride in this journey. IndianOil hasn’t sponsored a tournament—they’ve
nurtured a tradition, shaping the very heartbeat of Indian golf.”
The venue, the picturesque Digboi Golf Links, is a golfer’s delight. The course is
a one of its kind in terms of ambience as it is situated among the lush tea
estates and thick forest of eastern Assam. The historic Digboi Golf Links is
bordered by the Dehing forest reserve on three sides and the magnificent
Patkai range of mountains on the fourth. This par-72 course with a yardage of
6329 could also be termed as the best in the north-eastern part of the country
due to its magnificent layout.
