Paradise Golf Tours (PGTC) is to support the expenses of underprivileged children, who are showing tremendous potential, to participate in the 2026 World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) tournaments.

PGTC, owned and managed by Sri Lanka’s legendary golfing family, has also chosen to support the junior golf development programs for Sri Lanka’s highly talented kids around the country.

A sponsorship of Rs. 1.2 million was donated to Sri Lanka Golf.

“PGTC was initially formed to focus on bringing High Net Worth golfing tourists to experience more than just golf at a variety of historic and unique courses around this small but extremely diverse paradise island “ said Tiru Jesudasan who was Asia’s first professional women’s golfer who played on the European Professional Golf Tour.

PGTC is also promoting a project to build a world class golf resort, which is her passionate vision.
