Hitaashee Bakshi, winner of the Order of Merit on the Women's Pro Golf Tour last year, makes her first appearance in the new season on the home circuit as she tees up in the third leg of the Tour at the Poona Club Golf Course, as per a WPGT press release.
The winners of the first two events of the Tour in 2025, Rhea Purvi Sarvanan and Sneha Singh, are also in the field, which has 38 players, including India's star amateur, Mannat Brar. As the season gets into flow, some of the established players like Hitaashee, Vani Kapoor and Amandeep Drall, among others, are teeing up to test their form and get ready for international events in the season. In the past few years, the PWGT schedule has been drawn so that Indian players can play a few home events before going to internationals. Vidhatri Urs, a multiple winner on the PWGT last year and Ananya Garg, who plans to play some events on the Sunshine Ladies Tour in South Africa, are also in the field. The trio plans to play at the Jabra Ladies Classic and SuperSport Ladies Challenge, which was won by India's Tvesa Malik last year. In addition, Rhea Purvi and Karishma Govind will also play a few events like the Platinum Ladies and ABSA Ladies invitational in South Africa. Past winners like Jasmine Shekar, Seher Atwal and Neha Tripathi add to the strength of the field. Apart from Mannat, the other amateurs are Saanvi Somu, who was the runner-up in the opening leg last month, Keerthana Rajiv, Ketaki Sood, and Mayara Sharma.
