Aditi Ashok (born 29 March 1998) is an Indian professional golfer from Bangalore. She plays on the Ladies European Tour and LPGA Tour. She made her Olympic Games debut at the 2016 Summer Olympics. She qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, representing India in golf and finished 4th.[1][2]

Personal life

Aditi was born in Bangalore to Ashok Gudlamani and Maheshwari.[3] She was educated at The Frank Anthony Public School, Bangalore and graduated in 2016.[4] When she started playing golf at the age of 5, there were only three golf courses in Bangalore. When she expressed an interest, her father took her to the Karnataka Golf Association driving range. Her father Ashok was her caddie in the 2016 Olympics,[5] while her mother Maheshwari Ashok was her caddie for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.[6][7][8]

Career

Aditi at the age of 12, played in the Asia Pacific Invitation tournament. When Aditi was 13, she became victorious in her first professional tour. She won the National Junior Championship three times in a row in 2012, 2013 and 2014. In 2014 she held junior and senior titles at the same time. She was the only Indian golfer, who played at Asian Youth Games of 2013, Youth Olympics and Asian Games - both in 2014.[9]

After winning the Ladies British Amateur Stroke Play Championship in 2015 she turned pro on 1 January, 2016.[10]

She became the youngest and first Indian to win the Lalla Aicha Tour School and secured her Ladies European Tour card for the 2016 season.[11] This win also made her the youngest winner of a Q School for an international tour.[12]

Aditi won the 2016 Hero Women's Indian Open with a score of 3-under-par 213, and in the process became the first Indian to win a Ladies European Tour title.[13][14][15] In a country normally focused on cricket, her win garnered outsized attention for the sport of golf. Her win made the front page of the country's largest newspaper, the Times of India and she was featured nationally on television.[3] She picked up a second win two weeks later at the Qatar Ladies Open[16] and finished the season second on the Order of Merit. She won the Rookie of the Year award.[17] She also gained a LPGA Tour card for 2017 via the LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament.

In 2017, Aditi became the second LPGA player from India after Simi Mehra[18][19] and finished eighth in the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year standings.

In 2018, she made 17 cuts at 24 events, with two top-10 finishes. She recorded a career-best T6 result at the Volunteers of America LPGA Texas Classic (formerly Volunteers of America LPGA North Dallas Classic) and tied her career-low score of 64 at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. She ended the year with the second-lowest putting average on the LPGA.[20]

In 2019, Aditi made 13 cut out of 22 LPGA Tour events, with best season finish of T13 at CP Women's Open. She ended the year with back-to-back second-place finishes on the Ladies European Tour.[21]

2016 Olympic Games

At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Aditi was the youngest participant among all golfers. She finished in 41st place.[22]
