Arjun Atwal made the US PGA tour. Atwal seems to be a jat gotra. Is he one?.....

There were a lot of jats that migrated to Fiji. Is Vijay Singh a Jat? (Even though his rang might be a little too kala)

Vivek Bhai,

As soon as I read your post I rang up my son (He is an Amateur Golfer) and asked him. Arjun Atwal is a Sikh, based in Kolkata.

When Vijay Singh came to India sometime back, we learnt (from Kunal Balhara, a junior golfer) that his 'Gotra' is Balhara. I don't know how far it is true. May be you all who are based in US can find out.

Regards,
