2.Aditi Ashok

Aditi Ashok announced herself on the world stage by winning twice on the Ladies European Tour

If I had to award a “golfer of the year” title, it would go to Aditi Ashok. At 18, she has broken records, created history, and most importantly, inspired a whole new generation of golfers.

In her rookie year as a professional on the Ladies European Tour, apart from several top-10 finishes, she has notched up two wins on tour, won the Rookie of the Year trophy, as well as finished 2nd in the Order of Merit (Rankings). She has also secured a conditional card to play in LPGA events for 2017.

Aditi's performances have truly been a big shot in the arm for women’s golf in India.
