“We are proud to host IGPL’s first leg in Hyderabad. IGPL is promoting golf in a different way. It is a league that goes outside India as well, and women play alongside men and earn on the same tour. We met the owners and promoters and discussed several plans, and they are willing to partner with a place like HGA. We want them to bring not only their tour to our course but more professional events, and we will be happy to host it,” said Hyderabad Golf Association president Bhaskar Reddy.

“Our course is moving up a level. We have added two more holes, and we are bringing in an international maintenance firm to take the playing conditions to the next level. We are also hiring top professionals for course maintenance,” he added.

“Our association with HGA began in 2024 by sponsoring the Telangana Golconda Masters, and it is good to be back,” said Uttam Singh Mundy, CEO, AM Green IGPL. “I would like to thank the HGA president, Mr Bhaskar Reddy, the captain and the entire HGA team for their hospitality and for giving us the course in such great condition. The players have been full of praise for it all week. I also thank Krishna Punjab Raptors GC for playing host. We have discussed several ideas with HGA, and we would be glad to build on this partnership.”

“Any schoolchild who wants to come and play here is welcome, and we will support them,” Reddy said.

“We have a big short-game area here. Thanks to IGPL for bringing an event like this to HGA and for running programmes like the one we had this week, where young players learnt from the best. It takes a lot of time to reach this stage, and a platform like this will help young golfers go ahead and make golf a career,” said Sandeep Rathi, committee member, Hyderabad Golf Association.
