Champika Sayal has golf in her blood. A talented amateur player, in 2004 she formed the Women's Golf Association of India, allowing women to turn professional and earn money for the first time.

India's first female pro was Simi Mehra, who through sheer determination and talent played her way on to the LPGA Tour in the United States, prior to any Indian male golfer making the PGA Tour.
