Vijay Kumar, an extraordinary heavyweight of Indian golf

Vijay Kumar, a dominant force on the Indian golf circuit in the late 1990s and early 2000s, hailed from a humble background in Lucknow. He was a four-time Order of Merit winner, embodying the 'no option golfer' who played for livelihood. Despite his success, Kumar remained reticent, preferring the familiarity of his home course and the pro-shop over international tours.
