Kumar has competed regularly on the PGTI, India's principal domestic professional golf circuit, as well as on the Asian Tour, which sanctions tournaments across Asia and parts of the Middle East. His career has included multiple professional victories on the Indian tour and appearances in co-sanctioned events featuring international fields.

Kumar is part of a cohort of Indian professionals who helped sustain the growth of golf as a competitive sport in India during the 2000s and 2010s. The PGTI, on which he has been a regular, has served as the principal pathway for Indian golfers seeking to qualify for the Asian Tour and broader international competition.
