THE CHANDIGARH GOLF LEAGUE (CGL) 2025 began at the Chandigarh Golf Club on Thursday, with Punjab governor and UT administrator Gulab Chand Kataria inaugurating the event.
The five-week league-cum-knockout tournament features 21 teams and 378 golfers competing across 75 matches. Squads were finalised through owner picks and a player auction, with a prize purse of Rs 37 lakh on offer, an increase of 10% from last year.
The format comprises a league stage split into three groups, followed by a Super 12 knockout round in October. The top four teams will earn direct entry into the quarter-finals.
Organising committee chairman Gursimrat Singh Jawandha said the event has grown significantly in stature over the past three years, with this edition shaping up to be the biggest yet.
Tournament director Brandon de Souza said, “After having conducted events in more than four countries, I can safely say that the CGL is the most competitive out of all and the quality of golf on show here is the best.” Last year, during the third edition of the league, Captain’s 18 and Partee Panthers were crowned the joint champions.
