72 The League: A New Era for Indian Golf
The inaugural season of the Professional Golf Tour of India's (PGTI) groundbreaking initiative, 72 The League, is set to commence on 21st February 2026. This marks a significant milestone in Indian golf, as the country's first exclusive national professional golf league takes shape.
A New Franchise in Rajasthan
In a move that underscores the league's growing appeal, a new Rajasthan-based franchise has joined the fray. The franchise is a joint venture between Haldiram Snacks Food Pvt. Ltd. and KLJ Group of Companies, two esteemed Indian corporations.
The partnership aims to foster and elevate golfing talent in the country by aligning with 72 The League. With this strategic move, the duo becomes the second team to enter the league, adding to the competitive spirit and anticipation among golf enthusiasts.
Franchises and Players
Each franchise in 72 The League will consist of 10 professional players, handpicked through a transparent player auction. Leading golfers from the PGTI circuit will participate, creating one of the largest competitive platforms Indian professional golf has ever seen.
The league will be held across three prestigious golf venues in Delhi-NCR: Classic Golf & Country Club, Jaypee Greens, and Qutab Golf Course.
Partners and Vision
Haldiram Snacks Food Pvt. Ltd., a globally recognized Indian food brand, and KLJ Group of Companies, the largest manufacturer of Plasticizers, Chemicals, and Polymer Compounding in India, Qatar, and Thailand, are the proud partners of this exciting new venture.
Their shared vision is to contribute to the growth and development of golf in India, leveraging the platform provided by 72 The League.
