Brewery Pvt. Ltd., concluded on April 10 and 11 at the Royal Nepal Golf Course, but the high-profile event has drawn criticism for being overly exclusive and disconnected from grassroots sports development.

The two-day tournament brought together around 130 participants, primarily from elite circles, raising concerns about the limited accessibility of such events for aspiring and emerging golfers. While the competition featured multiple categories and recognized top performers, critics argue that it largely catered to a privileged segment of society.

Despite showcasing a premium sporting experience and brand visibility, questions have been raised about the broader impact of the event on Nepal’s overall sports ecosystem. Observers point out that while golf continues to receive attention through high-end tournaments, many other sports in the country still struggle with inadequate infrastructure and lack of funding.

The event highlighted notable performances, including a hole-in-one by Hari Bahadur Thapa and top finishes across various categories. However, such achievements were overshadowed by ongoing concerns about inclusivity and equal opportunity in Nepal’s sports sector.

Critics have emphasized that unless such tournaments incorporate wider participation and invest in grassroots development, their contribution to the nation’s sporting future will remain limited.
