India’s golf team delivered there best-ever performance at the Deaflympics 2025 in Tokyo, led by Diksha Dagar’s gold medal in the women’s individual event.
Diksha dominated the competition at Wakasu Golf Links, finishing with an 11-under total to secure India’s first golf gold at the Deaflympics. Her calm approach and consistent play across four rounds showed why she is one of India’s most promising golfers. This victory is a milestone not just for her career but for Indian sport, proving that athletes with hearing impairments can shine on the global stage.
In the men’s event, Harsh Singh and Vibhu Tyagi added strength to India’s campaign. Harsh finished 12th solo, showing steady form and resilience against a tough international field. Vibhu, making his debut after winning India’s selection trials earlier this year, ended with a tied 14th place. For a first appearance, his performance was solid and encouraging.
Together, the three gave India a historic result: one gold medal and two top-15 finishes. This marks a turning point for Indian golf at the Deaflympics. While Diksha’s gold is the headline, Harsh and Vibhu’s finishes prove that India is building depth in the sport.
