Jeev Milkha Singh celebrates son Harjai becoming India's top junior golfer and shares his own ambition to win a senior major before retiring.

"It's all his hard work, dedication, and discipline that have got him to where he is today. - Jeev Milkha Singh"

Chandigarh, January 7

Indian golfer Jeev Milkha Singh expressed delight on his son Harjai Milkha Singh achieving multiple Junior Golf titles, including IGU Southern India, Gujarat & Jharkhand Championships.

Speaking to ANI, Jeev Milkha Singh expressed pride in his son Harjai Milkha Singh for achieving his 2025 goal of becoming India's top junior golfer after winning multiple junior titles, crediting Harjai's hard work, discipline, and dedication.

"For parents, it's a very happy moment that your kid is doing well. He had set a goal for 2025 to be the number one junior, and he's achieved that. It's all his hard work, dedication, and discipline that have got him to where he is today," Singh said.

Jeev Milkha Singh said that he hopes his son will continue to improve and succeed internationally to carry forward the family legacy.

Jeev also shared his own ambitions, saying that while he can no longer compete with younger players on the main tour, he aims to win a major championship on the senior tour within the next 10 years, before retiring from competitive golf.

"I'm hoping, in the future, he works harder and performs well internationally so that he can keep the legacy going and I think by becoming the number 1, he does not only make his parents happy but also puts a smile on his grandparents faces," he said.

"I plan to win a major championship on the senior tour. I cannot do it on the main tour now because I cannot compete with the youngsters because they are stronger and they hit the ball further. I want to win a major, maybe a PGA Championship, the British Open, or the US Open Senior Championship, before I say thank you to this game. I'm 54 years old. I've given myself another 10 years, I would say till 65. In the next 10 years, if I can do it, I think I would have achieved what I wanted to, and this is what I started playing golf for," he said further while speaking to ANI.

This is fantastic news for Indian golf. Jeev Milkha Singh has been a legend, and now his son is following in his footsteps. We need more such sporting families in India. The discipline required for golf is immense, kudos to the young champion.

While it's great to see the success, I hope the pressure of carrying a 'legacy' doesn't become too heavy for Harjai. He should be allowed to enjoy the game and carve his own path, not just be seen as Jeev's son. Just a thought.

Jeev's own ambition to win a senior major is so motivating! At 54, setting a 10-year goal shows true passion. It's not just about the youngsters; experience matters too. All the best to both father and son!

Winning IGU Southern India, Gujarat & Jharkhand titles is no small feat. The junior circuit in India is getting competitive. Hope this success brings more media focus and sponsorship to junior golf in our country.
