Professional Golfer

The Golfer. The Competitor. The Champion.

S Chikkarangappa has built his career through years of competition on the Indian and international golf circuits. From his early days at Eagleton Golf Resort to multiple titles on the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), his rise has been defined by persistence, discipline and a steady commitment to the game.

From Watching The Game To Competing At The Highest Level

He first connected with golf from the edge of the course. What followed was a career built one round at a time.

Before his titles and international appearances, Chikkarangappa worked as a ball boy at Eagleton Golf Resort in Bengaluru. His work brought him close to a game he had first encountered by watching others play. He eventually began training under coach Vijay Divecha, turning that early exposure into a serious pursuit. In 2013, he turned professional and was named the PGTI Emerging Player of the Year in his debut season. The following year, he won three PGTI titles and the TAKE Solutions India Masters on the Asian Development Tour. More victories followed, including the Jeev Milkha Singh Invitational in 2018, two PGTI titles in 2019 and two more in the 2020–21 season. In 2022, he won the TATA Steel Tour Championship, adding another defining title to a career built through sustained performanc

A Game That Keeps Moving Forward

More than a decade into his professional career, the next challenge remains part of the pursuit.

S Chikkarangappa continues to compete on the professional circuit, bringing experience from years spent across different courses and levels of competition. His record includes a runner-up finish at the 2018 AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open and a career-best 21st place on the Asian Tour Order of Merit in 2019. With 15 PGTI titles and two Asian Development Tour victories to his name, he has established himself among the leading Indian golfers of his generation. Yet golf offers no lasting advantage. Every course brings a different test, every round begins from zero, and every result has to be earned again.

From his first days at Eagleton to competing across international tours, Chikkarangappa's career reflects a belief in the work behind every result. His story is not defined by a single victory, but by the consistency to keep returning to the course, ready for the next round.
