Gaganjeet Bhullar Joins IGPL as Icon Player to Lead Indian Golf Revolution

Indian golf veteran Gaganjeet Singh Bhullar has taken a significant step in his career by signing with the Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL) as an Icon player. In this role, Bhullar will captain one of the league's six franchises in a pioneering tournament that combines male and female professional golfers.

The league, set to revolutionize how golf is perceived and played in India, aims to nurture fresh talent and promote inclusivity within the sport. Bhullar, an Arjuna Awardee, expressed his excitement at the prospect of mentoring young golfers. 'Golf is known as an individual sport, but representing my country as part of a team has always been rewarding,' he said.

With notable figures like cricket legend Yuvraj Singh as a co-owner and ambassador, IGPL is poised to become a premier golf league. The tournament, running from September to December, promises substantial prize money and opportunities for young golfers to invest in their careers early on. Partnerships with organizations like the Women's Golf Association of India further reinforce its commitment to inclusivity.
