Daniel Chopra: Q School techniques, Delhi child, the showman, nickname taunts and Palmer’s PGA Tour Champ

The Round Golf Podcast

Daniel Chopra had been a successful golfer, winning in Europe and on the Asian Tour, but it was thanks to a special round at the 2003 PGA Tour Qualifying School that he fulfilled his dream of playing in the USA.

Daniel’s journey is well travelled. He tells us why a Swede grew up as a child in India, and which golfer financially bailed him out and set him on his path to success. There's the nickname on the European Tour that really hurt, and the magic moments with the late Arnold Palmer. Chopra takes us through the golden six month spell on the PGA Tour that saw him knocking on the door of the European Ryder Cup team and why it all went wrong.
