Shiv Kapur (born 12 February 1982) is an Indian professional golfer. He is recipient of the 2002 Arjuna Award.

Amateur career

Kapur went to Purdue University and played the amateur circuit in the United States. He had a successful amateur career, winning the Indian and Malaysian Amateur Opens in 2000 and an individual gold medal at the 2002 Asian Games.

Professional career

Kapur turned professional in 2004 and made a considerable impact in his second season on the Asian Tour by winning the season ending Volvo Masters of Asia and finishing the year fourth on the Asian Tour Order of Merit. Kapur works with instructor Peter Murphy out of Dallas, Texas.

He joined the European Tour in 2007, having earned enough as an affiliate member in 2006 to merit a tour card. His best finish that season came at the Enjoy Jakarta Astro Indonesia Open, where he finished tied for second place.

Kapur's best opportunity at clinching a European Tour victory came at the 2009 South African Open Championship. He lost in a playoff to Richie Ramsay.
