Queens of Golf returns with season 2 of India's premier women's celebrity Pro-Am golf event
New Delhi, Feb 25
Queens of Golf on Wednesday announced the second edition of its landmark Women's Celebrity Pro-Am golf event, returning on Women's Day, March 8, at the Golden Greens Golf Club, Gurugram.
Building on the momentum of a successful inaugural season, Season 2 brings together India's finest women professional golfers and senior leaders from some of the country's most prominent corporations, celebrating sporting excellence, championing women's golf, and reinforcing the growing ecosystem of corporate support for the sport.
Season 2 features an exceptional line-up of India's leading women professionals, including Smriti Mehra, Tvesa Malik, Amandeep Drall, Jasmine Shekar, Sneha Singh, Ridhima Dilawari, Neha Tripathi, Jahanvi Bakshi, and Shweta Mansingh, along with 20 other professional women golfers. These golfers, who represent the very best of Indian women's golf on domestic and international circuits, will compete in a stroke play format.
Speaking ahead of the event, Saket Mansingh, founder, Queens of Golf said, "The response to Season 1 reaffirmed our belief that women's golf in India deserves a bigger, brighter stage. Season 2 is our commitment to making that stage even more visible. We are grateful to our sponsors and corporate partners for standing with us. Their belief in this movement is what makes it possible. Most importantly, it is our incredible athletes who are the heart of this event, and we cannot wait to celebrate them."
The event follows a dual format. The Pro-Am segment allows corporate participants to play alongside a professional golfer for a full round, while the professionals simultaneously compete in an individual stroke play contest.

Great initiative. Tvesa Malik and Amandeep Drall have been performing consistently well on the international tours. Giving them a platform alongside corporate leaders is a smart way to build a sustainable ecosystem for the sport. More power to the queens!
While I appreciate the effort, I hope the focus remains on the sport and the athletes' skills, not just on it being a "celebrity" event. The Pro-Am format is fun, but let's ensure the professional competition gets the primary attention and coverage it deserves.
Launching it on Women's Day is perfect symbolism! 🎯 Golf has often been seen as an exclusive sport. Making it more accessible and visible for women athletes is a great step. Hope to see more such events across different cities in India.
Interesting read. The corporate partnership model is key for sports development. If this can create more sponsorship and training opportunities for these talented golfers, it will be a real game-changer. The line-up of professionals is seriously impressive.
As someone from Gurugram, it's exciting to have such a high-profile event here at Golden Greens! Will definitely try to go watch. It's about time our women golfers got their due. All the best to Sneha Singh and the entire team!
