PGTI to players: Reaffirm allegiance or face expulsion
PUNE: Is Indian golf in for a 'LIV' moment? The Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) has asked its players to sign a form, re-affirming their allegiance to the body and declaring they would not compete in any rival tournament. The move comes when the tour is on a mid-season break, and in the wake of the launch of the Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL), which has been sanctioned by the Indian Golf Union and approved by the sports ministry. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'I shall not engage in, or associate with any activity, event or organization that is detrimental to the interests … of the Society. I shall not participate in any professional golf event that conflicts with official PGTIsanctioned tournaments without prior written approval … as per Clause 1.10 of the PGTI Handbook,' reads a part of the form sent out to the players. Amandeep Johl, CEO of the PGTI, sought to play down the development. 'There is nothing new in the form. It is part of the PGTI Handbook. This is Appendix 2, which is a standard registration form, which has been there forever,' Johl told TOI. He, however, admitted that the move was prompted by the imminent launch of a rival 'entity'. 'I have no problem with my player playing anywhere, in India or abroad, private or public, but you can't have your foot in both the boards. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2 & 3 BHK by the Lake, Off Old Madras Road Brigade Lakecrest Learn More Undo That's not fair to the rest of the membership,' he said. 'Choose where you want to go, my best wishes. I am happy that there are 30 players who are going to earn anew livelihood, a better livelihood, if they feel it is a better livelihood.' Earlier, PGTI president and former India cricket captain Kapil Dev had written a strongly worded letter to the players warning them against being 'part of a REBEL TOUR' … 'designed to create division and disruption', urging them to 'stand united' or else face 'disciplinary action including suspension'. The IGPL envisions a citybased league with three-day events that have no cuts. It has so fgar signed up 30 players — a mix of active veterans like Gaganjeet Bhullar; seniors like Jeev Milkha Singh and Jyoti Randhawa; as well as some competing on the PGTI Tour, and about 10 players from WPGTI. Its management includes some of the founding members of PGTI. Asked why PGTI couldn't co-sanction the league like the women's tour has done, Johl said the discussions failed at a nascent stage. 'They did reach out to us, but the demands were a little unacceptable to PGTI,' he said, without disclosing the details. Johl reminded that PGTI was the Indian body recognized by the US PGA and DP World Tour, and awarded ranking points which enables aplayer to represent the country at Olympics and Asiad.
