Chandigarh Golf Club is Ready to Host IGU Amateur After 15 Years

After a 15-year break, Chandigarh Golf Club is ready to host the All India Amateur Golf Championship at its course starting Monday. A total of 15 skilled local golfers will compete for top honors alongside India’s best amateurs, all aiming for the winner’s trophy. Leading the local charge will be Harjai Milkha Singh, Jaiveer Kang, Ransher Randhawa, Neel Jolly, and Jai Gupta. The tournament will conclude on December 15.

Captain of CGC, 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,” he added.

This will be the 123rd edition of the tournament, which will ultimately determine the top amateur golfer in India. A total of 32 players will make it to the final cut. The pre-quarterfinals and quarterfinals will follow a match-play format, while the semifinals will be played over 18 holes. The final will consist of 36 holes, and in the event of a draw, a playoff will be used to determine the winner.
