The Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL), India’s first-ever franchise-based golf league, is coming to the UAE.
India’s dynamic and innovative golf format is set to make its debut in the United Arab Emirates from 8th – 10th December, marking a major milestone in the evolution of golf in the region.
The highly anticipated event will be hosted at the iconic Els Club Dubai, bringing together top golfing talent, industry leaders and global enthusiasts for a world-class sporting spectacle.
At the forefront of this event is IGPL icon Shiv Kapur, celebrated professional golfer and ambassador of the league, who will be hosting the event and leading the initiative to expand IGPL’s footprint into international territory.
Despite being a newly launched concept, the IGPL is already renowned for its innovative league-style format, team spirit and its mission to make golf more competitive, accessible and entertaining. The UAE debut aims to bring that excitement to Dubai, already recognised as an international sporting hub with a rich golfing heritage.
Shiv Kapur commented on the exciting annoucement, “Taking the IGPL format international has been a vision from the onset and there’s no better place to start than in Dubai, my home away from home.
“The Els Club offers world-class facilities, and we are excited to introduce the league’s energy, camaraderie and competitive spirit to the UAE golfing community.”
“The UAE has emerged as a dynamic golf destination and hosting our first international edition here represents a major step in our global journey,” said Mr Uttam Singh Mundy, CEO of IGPL. “We are thrilled to have our first tournament at The Els Club Dubai and are very much looking forward to bringing together golfers of all levels for an unforgettable experience.”
