Experienced Coach Sundeep Verma To Accompany Paris 2024-Bound Golfer Gaganjeet Bhullar

Renowned clubmaker Sundeep Verma will be making his third Olympic Games appearance as a coach. Verma will be accompanying leading Indian professional Gaganjeet Bhullar during Paris 2024. 11-time Asian Tour champion Bhullar, who is making his Olympic debut, is part of a four-member golf team including Shubhankar Sharma, Aditi Ashok and Diksha Dagar. Indian pro Ashbeer Saini will be caddying for Bhullar. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) cleared a 257-member Indian contingent that includes 117 athletes and 140 support staff and coaches. 

With over 25 years of experience in the golf industry and being the first Class 'A' certified golf coach-cum-clubmaker, Verma has worked with ace golfers like Jeev Milkha Singh, Anirban Lahiri, S.S.P. Chawrasia,  Jyoti  Randhawa,  Himmat Singh Rai, Shiv Kapur, Shubhankar Sharma, Siddikur Rahman to name a few.

He accompanied Chawrasia to Rio 2016 Olympics and Diksha to Tokyo 2020 Games and played an important part in helping them achieve a memorable performance. The men's individual competition will be staged from August 1 to 4 at Le Golf National, the venue which hosted the 2018 Ryder Cup.

"It was quite natural to pick Sundeep as my coach. He has worked with me during my early professional days. I used to look at him for advice regarding my golf swing and customization of clubs as per my BMI and posture. He has already been to the venue of the event twice and his observations will come in handy for me. He also guided SSP and Diksha during the last two Olympic Games and understands the nuances of the game and how to handle pressure at a stage like this. I am sure with him on my side I will return with a remarkable performance in my maiden Olympic appearance," Bhullar said.
