In view of the rapid spread of Covid-19’s Omicron variant, most state governments are announcing travel restrictions and curfews. Keeping this in mind, we note that players travelling from other states to Gujarat for the purpose of the PGTI Qualifying School 2022 would be at great risk of catching the virus.

The PGTI thus held an emergency meeting on Thursday evening (January 6) and came to the following conclusion:
Only Pre-Qualifying I will be held as scheduled on January 7 & 8 at Kalhaar Blues and Greens Golf Club. All other events/programs of the PGTI Qualifying School 2022 (Pre-Q II, III & the Final Stage), earlier scheduled to be held between January 10 – 20, stand postponed as of now. Fresh dates will be intimated for the postponed events. The results of Pre-Q 1 will stand as played.
The PGTI Qualifying School 2022 was to be held from January 7-20.
The Qualifying School, which kickstarts each PGTI season, is one of the most important events on the calendar as it is the only route for players to qualify to play on the PGTI in a particular season. The tournament determines the criteria for players for the whole season.
