With Support Of Global Bodies, IGU Hoping To Host Asia-Pacific Events
The IGU is riding a high after gaining the support of global bodies -- the International Golf Federation (IGF), the Royal and Ancient (R & A) and the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation (APGC). The IGU, which has worked closely with the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, the Sports Authority of India (SAI), and IOA, is looking at sending Indian golfers to at least 12-15 events in 2025.
The IGU has also been working to get funding from Olympic Solidarity, who have responded very favourably to presentations and necessary paperwork initiated by IGU. It has also received a boost with full voting membership in the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), which clears the path for receiving support from the government. “We have asked the APGC to give us events to host and will keep pressing them,” said Brijinder Singh, the IGU President. “Our pitch at recent international events like the Asian Amateur Championship has received favourable support to host Asia-Pacific events in the next year or two. That would mean our golfers will be able to play top competitions at home and reap the benefits of home advantage.”
