Organised in partnership with the world golf rules governing body, The R&A, Golf Sixes is designed to make the sport more dynamic, accessible, and engaging for young players with its six-hole, team-based structure, opening the door for golf to become as popular and appealing to India\u2019s youth as shorter formats of cricket like T20 and T10.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Indian Golf Union (IGU) president Brijinder Singh, expressed his excitement and confidence that the new version of golf will create a wave of interest among the younger generation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe can expect a comparable success story. Just as T20 revolutionised cricket by shortening the game and making it more dynamic and spectator-friendly, this new format of golf does the same. It condenses the sport into a more exciting and engaging experience, allowing a new generation to enjoy the thrill of the game in a shorter time frame. Similarly, Six-Hole Golf could capture the attention of younger players and audiences, potentially driving a significant rise in the sport's popularity,\u201d Brijinder Singh said in a statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The collaboration between the IGU and The R&A also underscores a shared commitment to long-term growth. By focusing on players aged 12 and under, the tournament directly contributes to growing the sport from the grassroots level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
