Shiv Kapur Aims to Boost Indian Golf With New League
Shiv Kapur, a successful golfer, thinks young Indian golfers need to work harder.
He hopes a new golf league called IGPL will help.
The IGPL is like the IPL in cricket; it is a team-based competition with men, women, and amateur golfers.
Kapur thinks the current ranking system for golfers needs to change and that this new league can help Indian golf by making the sport more exciting and accessible.
The goal is to inspire young players and give them a chance to compete with the pros.
Shiv Kapur believes Indian golfers need more drive to succeed.
The Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL) is expected to boost the sport.
IGPL will feature six mixed-gender teams in a city-based franchise league.
The IGPL will include professional, amateur, and women golfers.
The world ranking system needs reform, according to Kapur.
