Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya: Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya met with the Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL) co-founder and Ambassador Yuvraj Singh and CEO Uttam Mundy at his office and praised the efforts being made to promote the sport across India.

IGPL, the country's first-ever franchise-based golf league, is set to debut in January 2026 and will feature six franchises. The tournament is being organised in partnership with the Indian Golf Union (IGU), the Women's Golf Association of India (WGAI), and the PGA of India. It will follow a city-based franchise format, welcoming both professional and amateur men and women golfers in team-based competitions.
