India golfers eyeing 2016 Olympics

New Delhi: Seven more years to go before golf will make its appearance at Rio de Janeiro Olympics 2016.

However, for players like Shiv Kapur and Rashid Khan these seven years seem to be too long a time.

With players like Jeev Milkha Singh – the highest ranked Asian player in golf – India has consistently outperformed other Asian nations in the recent times.

According to the Indian Olympic Association, around 30 countries will qualify for 2016 Olympic and India’s current players’ rankings gives some hope of their winning.
