New Delhi, 3rd September 2025: The Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL) is poised to revolutionize the Indian golfing landscape with the official launch of the IGPL Tour, a pioneering professional circuit that will feature both men and women competing on the same platform. Indian Cricket legend and Yuvraj Singh today officially launched the inaugural IGPL Tour at a prestigious press conference at the Hyatt Regency in New Delhi.

The event was graced by by Chief Executive Officer, IGPL Uttam Singh Mundy, along with Tour Commissioner/CEO, Asian Tour, Cho Minn Thant, General Secretary, Women’s Golf Association of India (WGAI) Champika Sayal, Hon. President, PGAI Romit Bose, Indian Men’s Professional Golf Player & IGPL Icon Player Shiv Kapur and Indian Men’s Professional Golf Player & IGPL Icon Player SSP Chawrasia.


Launching the IGPL Tour, which will begin from September 10th in Chandigarh, IGPL Co-Founder Yuvraj Singh said, "A golfer's life is not easy. When you are going on tournaments, you have to make the cut to earn money and pay the bills. IGPL is providing a format for the younger generation coming on board that you do not have to worry about financial constraints. The work being done on grassroots level is quite important. You can compare IGPL to IPL, and it can change dynamics in golf like IPL did with cricket.
"It's a full IGPL tour, and then it will be followed by fast-paced IGPL League with both men and women playing together. I think the equality in the sport is very important. I hope it will change the face of Golf in India. A lot of efforts have been taken by stakeholders behind the scene to grow the sport. I want to see budding golfers do well. We will have Olympics soon, and we will see our players winning medals."


Along with the launch of the tour, IGPL also announced a kay partnership with the Asian Tour, the official sanctioning body for professional golf in the region, allowing IGPL players to compete alongside the top Asian players at the Asian Tour event in India in November at Kensville Golf & Country Club.


Speaking on the partnership, IGPL CEO Uttam Singh Mundy said, "I am elated to announce that Asian Tour has agreed to accommodate our interest for this even this year. Because it's always a tight schedule as far as dates are convinced. The pathway for a domestic tour is very important as a professional golfer. You are always looking to graduate from a domestic tour to a higher tour, and this could be a pathway. We have a pathway for our IPGL players. This is just the start and it will only get better."


Tour Commissioner/CEO, Asian Tour, Cho Minn Thant further added, "I see a lot of similarities between the Asian Tour and IGPL Tour. The tour is spreading across multiple cities and it will also go to Sri Lanka and UAE. It is great to have a tour and the innovation that IGPL will bringing to the sport. It will not be confined to the traditional rules of the sport. We are delighted to join hands with the IGPL in this endeavour."
