IGU Suspends Five State Golf Associations Before Elections

Five state associations of the Indian Golf Union have been suspended ahead of the elections for being virtually non-existent and violating guidelines. These associations failed to fulfill requirements and did not respond to inquiries, resulting in their exclusion from the electoral process scheduled for December 15.

Five state associations under the Indian Golf Union (IGU) have been suspended for being ‘virtually non-existent’ and violating guidelines, as determined by Returning Officer O P Garg.

The Himachal Pradesh Proam Golf Association, among others, were disqualified from participating in the upcoming elections on December 15.

Garg, a retired judge, based his decision on a detailed review of available documents and a lack of response to inquiries, impacting the IGU's election process for 2024-26.
