Exciting Return of Golf Stars to Ahmedabad
Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], December 2: Gaganjeet Bhullar makes a notable comeback to the IGPL Invitational in Ahmedabad, alongside Karandeep Kochhar, as the IGPL Tour continues in the city following the Bharath Classic. These prominent players, along with Aman Raj, the leader of the IGPL Order of Merit, Pune champion Kapil Kumar, Jamshedpur victor Pukhraj Singh Gill, and Sachin Baisoya, who secured third place at the Bharath Classic, are all set to compete in this event, which is co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour and IGPL.
Bhullar has already claimed victory in the first two events held in Chandigarh and Jaypee Greens, while Kochhar is eager to secure his first win. He previously triumphed in an Asian Development Tour event in Egypt and finished fifth in the ADT Order of Merit, which qualifies him for the Asian Tour in 2026.
The total prize pool for the tournament is Rs. 1.5 crores, with the champion taking home Rs. 22.50 lakhs. Currently, Aman Raj leads the Order of Merit.
The IGPL Invitational Ahmedabad marks the ninth event in the series, with the final two tournaments scheduled to take place in Dubai and Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Bhullar, who has been participating in the International Series while managing personal commitments, previously won the first two legs of the IGPL. Following him, Kapil Kumar won in Pune, and Gill emerged victorious in Jamshedpur. Together, they are expected to bring excitement to the beautiful Glade One Golf Resort and Club.
Notable Olympians Udayan Mane and SSP Chawrasia, along with Asian Tour champions like Chiragh Kumar, have also registered for the IGPL Invitational Ahmedabad.
The lineup features several international players, including Justin Quiban from the Philippines and Santiago De La Fuentes from Mexico, both of whom participated in the Bharath Classic last week. Additionally, Varun Chopra, an American of Indian descent, and Manav Shah, another American of Indian origin, are part of the competition.
Young talents Kartik Singh and Veer Ganapathy, who were instrumental in launching the IGPL Tour, have faced significant challenges recently and are eager to improve their performance this week.
Although Pranavi Urs, who made history as the first female professional to win in a mixed field event in India, will not be competing in the women's section, the field will include Ridhima Dilawari and Jasmine Shekar, among others.
