In a landmark moment for Indian golf, 15-year-old Kartik Singh has etched his name in history by becoming the youngest Indian ever to make the cut in an Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR)-recognized event. What makes this feat even more remarkable is that it came in his very first start on the prestigious Asian Tour.
Kartik’s outstanding performance places him in elite company, making him the fourth youngest player in the history of the Asian Tour to advance to the weekend rounds. He follows in the footsteps of prodigies like Taiwan’s Hsieh Cheng-wei, who holds the record for the youngest to make the cut at just 14 years and 33 days (2022 Yeangder TPC), China’s Guan Tian-lang (2013 Masters at 14 years, 169 days), and Thailand’s Jazz Janewattananond (2010 Asian Tour International at 14 years, 71 days).
Hailing from India, Kartik showcased not just raw talent but also remarkable composure and maturity beyond his years, battling against seasoned professionals on an international stage. His precision, strategic course management, and fearless approach caught the attention of golf enthusiasts and analysts worldwide.
As he heads into the weekend rounds, all eyes will be on this young sensation to see how far he can go.
