They say you need idols to seek inspiration! But this doesn’t seem to be the case for the Indian golfer, Diksha Dagar. Dagar, a member of the Ladies European Tour, indeed wants to be part of the LPGA Tour. However, she doesn’t have any inspiration on the circuit. It’s surprising, isn’t it? Weeks before teeing off alongside Aditi Ashok at the Paris Olympics, Dagar humbly talked with Essentially Sports’s Tushhita Barua exclusively. When asked about her future career plans about joining the LPGA Tour and where she envisions herself in her life, the 23-year-old very politely expressed, “Yes, that is my main goal. I want to be on the LPGA Tour; it’s one of my biggest dreams,” she said while revealing how close she came to making it onto the tour last year, missing it by one shot. It was heartbreaking for her, especially after finishing 3rd in the 2023 LET season rankings and then missing out on a top 45 finish in the LPGA Qualifier by just one stroke in Alabama, USA. The 23-year-old shot rounds of 72-70-64-68-75-74 in a difficult 6-round qualifying event, but a bogey on the final hole dropped her to 51st place, costing her the chance to play on the LPGA Tour. Although Dagar isn’t currently competing on the LPGA Tour, the golfer has played with the likes of Nelly Korda, Charley Hull, and more at the Scottish Open, but they failed to inspire her. When questioned about her inspiration on the LPGA tour, Diksha Dagar answered surprisingly and simply, “So far, I don’t have any.”
