Addressing the media ahead of the tournament, CGC captain Rohit Singh Dagar said, “Chandigarh Golf Club is thrilled to host this tournament after a gap. It is definitely a great stepping stone for promotion of junior golf. Indian and local amateur golfers are doing so well at the international level.
The Indian team for the Asiad also has amateurs. Also, the course is in great shape and condition. The pace of the course is really good and usually it is best in winters. This will be the IGU’s last event of the year, and around 110 golfers will be participating.”
This will be the 123rd edition of the tournament. The culmination of the tournament will decide the Number 1 amateur golfer of India. The event will see 32 players making the final cut. The pre quarter-finals and quarter-finals will be played under match-play format. While the semi-finals will be played under the 18-hole format, the final will be a 36-hole affair. In case of a draw in the final tie, the winner will be decided by a playoff.
