My Friends Were Without A Job For Almost 18 Months’ – Lahiri Praises LIV Asian Tour Investment

My Friends Were Without A Job For Almost 18 Months' - Lahiri Praises LIV Asian Tour Investment


Anirban Lahiri has welcomed LIV Golf’s investment in the Asian Tour, saying that the timing is perfect as the region emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic. 

The Saudi-funded organisation is investing $300m in the Tour over the next decade, including the International Series, and the Indian, who is teeing it up in LIV Golf’s Asian debut at Stonehill in Bangkok this week, explained the injection of cash is much-needed. He said: “You look at where the Asian Tour was post-Covid. I know a lot of my friends who play on the Asian Tour were without a job for almost 18 months. Asia being such a strong economic region in the world, the professional golf industry hasn’t quite reflected that. I think this investment into the Asian Tour is necessary, and it’s timely, because there’s a lot of potential.”
