The inaugural edition will be hosted at Bangalore Golf Club over three match days—March 13, 20, and 27, 2025. With 90 registered participants, the league has drawn nationwide attention, bringing together golfers from Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Mysore, and Madikeri, as well as a few Korean nationals.
