On September 10, 2019, Aditi Ashok was outdated from the list of winners to acquire the prize of the Arjuna Award. This happened due to miscommunication between the Board of Directors of Golf Sports.

Speaking for Aditi’s loss of not receiving the award at the event of Indian Golf Union, she further stated that, 

“They are not doing anything and at the same time, they are not willing to give the charge. The fact is today a deserving player has not won the Arjuna award and that’s a massive loss. Last year after the Olympics it was a given that Aditi’s name would be there.”

The Director-General Major Bibhuti Bhushan a retired golfer, gave clarification on the issue of not taking the name of Aditi on the list. According to him, she was not nominated on the list due to not filling out the paperwork and signing the form for receiving the award. 

For this clarification, he gave a statement that “If the player does not sign the form we cannot do anything. Last time she signed and her nomination was sent by us.”

He further stated that “The mail has been delivered to her this time. Maybe she was disheartened the last time she didn’t sign it.” 

Hence, she was also nominated with SSP Chawrasia in 2017 by Indian Golf Union

My Perspective: 

 

Aditi Ashok’s journey represents a major shift in how golf is viewed within Indian sports culture. Historically considered an elite, niche discipline with minimal continental visibility, golf has rapidly gained mainstream traction, largely due to Ashok’s performance on global leaderboards.

When Ashok emerged at the Rio Olympics as an 18-year-old rookie leading the field during the opening rounds, it introduced millions of domestic viewers to the intricacies of the sport. Her fourth-place outcome in Tokyo further proved that Indian golfers could compete toe-to-toe with elite athletes from traditional powerhouses like the United States, South Korea, and Sweden.

At the 2026 Asian Games, her presence as a leader bore clear dividends. By pairing her international experience alongside emerging stars Pranavi Urs and Diksha Dagar, Team India boasted a formidable roster capable of challenging dominant squads like China and Japan. Ashok’s relentless back-nine drive during the final round demonstrated the poise of an experienced tour player under extreme pressure, directly contributing to India’s total score.

Off the course, Ashok’s consistent presence on the LPGA circuit has altered the pathway for young female athletes in India. Modern academies in Bengaluru, Gurgaon, and Mysuru now see a surge in young girls taking up the sport, aiming to emulate her tactical course management and putting style. As she continues to compete across global tours, Aditi Ashok remains not just a pioneer for Indian golf, but a vital icon in the broader narrative of female athletic empowerment across Asia.
