The reaction to my recent victory in India on the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) has been immense. Players, officials, golf federations, tours, and personal friends have all contacted me. Their advice is to play as much as possible until I establish a schedule, which is crucial for my career development. Currently, I am arranging my visa needs for the upcoming months to travel smoothly to the US, UAE, Schengen areas, and several other destinations.
I have registered for the DP World Tour First Stage Qualifying School at Donnington Grove Golf Club in Newbury, England, from September 17th to 20th. The DP World Tour Qualifying School spans 15 venues from August to November, with the Second Stage in Spain across four venues. The Final Stage will be at Costa Dorada’s Infinitum Resort in Spain, where 156 players will compete in six rounds, and the top 20 players plus ties will secure DP World Tour cards for the 2025 season.
Following this, I plan to attend the Korn Ferry Qualifying School in the US and the Asian Tour Qualifying School to cover all possibilities. With my PGTI status secured, I am currently without a caddie, waiting for a structured schedule in 2025. My immediate focus is on collaborating with the Emirates Golf Federation (EGF) to explore mutual assistance. Currently, I am at Emirates Golf Club, playing the floodlit Faldo Course to maintain my form.
I need to rebuild my fitness regimen, as I no longer have college peers and coaches to keep me accountable. I am closely monitoring my friend Zach Bauchou, who is 35th on the Korn Ferry Money List and aiming for a top 30 finish to earn his PGA Tour Card. The top 156 players qualify for the Korn Ferry Tour Finals, followed by two more events and the Korn Ferry Tour Championship. I hope he succeeds.
In essence, my life remains largely unchanged. My management team and I are awaiting the end of the year to assess my position. If I play in Europe or Asia in 2025, I might base myself in Dubai.
