“When I was starting out as a young golfer in India, I did not have reliable access to many of the resources and support systems that I benefit from today. I understand firsthand how challenging it can be for a talented young athlete to find their way without the right ecosystem around them. That experience is a large part ofwhy we created ALF.

Our ambition isto create an environment in which young golfers can develop with confidence,purpose and resilience—and build the capability to compete successfully on the global stage.
