Vidhatri Urs targets Ladies European Tour after domestic success
Vidhatri Urs, 20, said on November 12, 2026 on the sidelines of the Indian Golf Premier League in Visakhapatnam that she is concentrating on qualifying for the Ladies European Tour and will play the Lalla Aicha Pre-Qualifier in Marrakech in December. She is currently No. 5 in the Women’s Golf Association of India Order of Merit and has four professional titles since turning professional in 2024.
The Urs surname carries expectations in women’s golf, but Vidhatri says she has treated that legacy lightly. Speaking about her cousin Pranavi, who recently won the individual golf gold at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in Japan, Vidhatri said: “I don’t think anyone is putting pressure on me. I think it’s great that she won the Asian Games. It’s a motivation for me to achieve bigger things. There’s a lot to learn from her. The way she held her nerves throughout the week was great. It is definitely not easy at such a big level.”
On the domestic circuit Vidhatri rose to prominence with a July victory at Zion Hills Golf County in Kolar, where she defeated favourite Ridhima Dilawari in a play-off. That win took her tally of professional titles to four. She turned professional in 2024 and currently sits fifth on the WGAI Order of Merit.
Reflecting on her form this season, Vidhatri said: “It feels great to win my fourth pro title. For me, this season has been decent after a forgettable one in 2025, when I was struggling with my swing changes,” Vidhatri told The Hindu on the sidelines of the Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL) in Visakhapatnam recently.
Vidhatri described a close training relationship with Pranavi, detailing how they practise together when possible. “Whenever we get to play, we play a few holes or practise on the range. There is so much to learn in every aspect. She is mostly an aggressive player. It depends on me. I keep it both ways. Whenever I have to attack, I will,” Vidhatri said.
She also spoke positively about the Indian Golf Premier League as a developmental platform. “I think it is a great platform for women’s golf. It is a great competition. You learn a lot here,” she said.
Vidhatri said her immediate focus is on LET qualifying and confirmed her entry for the Lalla Aicha Pre-Qualifier next month. “I am just focusing more on my LET qualifying scores right now. I am playing some consistent golf. I will be playing the Lalla Aicha Pre-Qualifier in December this year in Marrakech, Morocco. Hopefully, I can make it and play on the LET,” she said.
