Mysuru, Aug 11

The Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), the official sanctioning body of professional golf in India on Monday announced the second edition of the Mysuru Open which will be held at the Jayachamaraja Wadiyar Golf Club (JWGC) in Mysuru from August 12 to 15.

The total prize purse for the event is Rs 1 crore.

The leading Indian professionals participating in the event include 2025 PGTI Order of Merit leader Yuvraj Sandhu, Angad Cheema (winner of the last two events), Olympian Udayan Mane, Om Prakash Chouhan and Arjun Prasad, to name a few.

The prominent foreign names competing are Sri Lankans N Thangaraja and K Prabagaran, Bangladeshis Jamal Hossain and Badal Hossain, Italians Michele Ortolani and Federico Zucchetti, Czechia's Stepan Danek, Nepalese golfers Sukra Bahadur Rai and Subash Tamang as well as Uganda's Joshua Seale.

The Mysuru-based professionals in the field are Dhruv Bopanna, Prafful Chand, P Prabhu and Suraj Joshi.

Amandeep Johl, CEO, PGTI, said, "We are delighted to return for the second edition of the Mysuru Open. The inaugural edition was a tremendous success and we are confident that this year's tournament will build on that momentum. Mysuru has shown great enthusiasm for the sport and we are grateful to JWGC and its members for their continued support in helping us establish this event as one of the premier attractions on the PGTI calendar.

"What makes this event truly special is the unique setting of the Mysuru golf course, which lies amidst the iconic racecourse. It offers golfers the rare experience of playing two distinct styles of golf in one venue - a combination of traditional parkland holes and links-style stretches. This blend of contrasting layouts not only challenges the professionals but also adds to the charm and character of the tournament."

The Mysuru Open Pro-Am event played on Sunday, was won by the team led by Ugandan professional Joshua Seale. Joshua's team had a net score of 50.8 and consisted of amateurs H K Kamalanath, Aditya Chawla and Suresh M.

Mysuru is such a beautiful city for golf tournaments. The combination of parkland and links-style courses sounds fascinating! Wish I could attend in person. Best of luck to all participants, especially our Indian players.

While I appreciate the tournament, I wish PGTI would focus more on developing golf infrastructure in smaller cities too. Mysuru is great, but we need to expand the sport's reach beyond traditional hubs.

The international participation is impressive! Good to see players from Uganda, Czechia, and Bangladesh competing. This exposure will definitely help our Indian golfers improve their game. #GrowingTheSport

Angad Cheema has been on fire lately! Two back-to-back wins is no joke. Hope he makes it a hat-trick in Mysuru. The competition looks tough though with Sandhu and Mane in the mix. Should be exciting!

Does anyone know if there will be live streaming available? Would love to watch but can't travel to Mysuru. Also, great to see local players like Dhruv Bopanna getting a chance to compete on home turf!
