New Indian Golf League Launches, Prompting Shakeup
Imagine a new golf league in India, like a team version of the sport, similar to the IPL in cricket.
It's called the IGPL and it's trying to shake up the world of Indian golf.
This new league wants to bring in both men and women golfers, along with amateur players, playing in teams.
Some professional golfers are joining the IGPL, but the current main golf organization in India isn't too happy about it, as they don't want players involved in both leagues.
The new league plans to host tournaments and a city-based league, with the hope of making golf more exciting and attracting new fans.
The Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL) is launching as a new franchise-based circuit.
Former India cricket all-rounder Yuvraj Singh is the brand ambassador for IGPL.
The IGPL aims to include both men and women players and amateurs.
The Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) has voiced concerns about its members joining IGPL.
IGPL plans tournaments and a city-based league from September to December.
