Launched at Delhi Golf Club (DGC) with tennis legend Leander Paes in attendance, it represents a significant shift in golfs development by bringing the sport directly into schools and playgrounds, ensuring talent from all parts of India is nurtured and prepared to compete at the highest levels.

Additionally, IGPL revealed plans to immediately establish state-of-the-art training centres in Orissa, Gurgaon, and Andhra Pradesh this year. These centres will act as regional hubs for spotting emerging talent and offering professional-level infrastructure. Moving beyond traditional academies, the initiative will host interactive golf sessions in schools, introducing the sport to thousands of students for the first time. This partnership includes the IGU, PGAI, schools, and corporate partners, forming a coordinated framework to spot talent early. Uttam Singh Mundy, CEO of IGPL, said, Indian golf is getting bigger and better, and the time has come to build a generation that can dominate the world stage. To do this, we are taking the game directly to schools and playgrounds, ensuring that no talent is left behind. This requires a huge collective effort, which is why we are joining hands with Amit Luthras foundation and the IGU. We are creating avenues where youngsters dont just train, they learn and play alongside experienced legends to become winners. A core element of the initiative is a comprehensive mentorship approach, where young players will train and compete alongside Indian golf stars. Legends like Shiv Kapur and Gaganjeet Bhullar will actively guide new talents, helping them become competition-ready on the international stage. Indian golf legend and IGPL Icon Player Jeev Milkha Singh said, I have always believed that for Indian golf to grow, we need to give back to the next generation.

The IGU is proud to back IGPL on this initiative because it fills a critical gap, connecting grassroots passion with professional guidance. Seeing icons mentor young talent is exactly the kind of structured support Indian golf needs to grow.
