'Just Like Cricket Boards...': Kapil Dev Says Not Possible For PGTI To Work With IGPL
Last Updated: The IGPL, a city-based franchise league featuring six mixed-gender teams, is scheduled to be held over four weeks between January and February next year. Kapil Dev, the president of Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI), says the organisation cannot collaborate with the Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL) at this stage due to their responsibility towards 350 professionals, not just a select group of senior golfers. When asked if PGTI could work with IGPL, Kapil was clear: 'It's not possible. You can't work for both Mercedes and BMW at the same time. Either you work for BMW or for Mercedes. Loyalty is very important." 'Just like cricket boards have established themselves, we aim to do the same. We are the organisation that supports all professionals- not just a select group. 'Perhaps in the future, it might be possible. But at present, it's not. I am responsible for 350 golfers, not just 20. I have to consider the bigger picture—for my team, my board, and everyone involved. Of course, I'd like it if they collaborated with us," the legendary cricketer added. The IGPL, a city-based franchise league featuring six mixed-gender teams, is scheduled to be held over four weeks between January and February next year. The format will combine professional men and women golfers with top amateurs competing in a team-based model. However, the proposed league has encountered a conflict with the PGTI, which has asked its members to reaffirm their allegiance to the organization by signing a declaration form, barring participation in rival tournaments. 'Let the kite take off first, don't cut it down before it flies. I'm happy that someone is bringing money into the sport. It doesn't matter if they work with me or not. Even if it is going to the seniors, as a sportsperson, I'm happy," Kapil said at the launch of the PGTI calendar for the second half of the season. 'IGPL is focusing on the top 20–30 players and trying to grow the game, which is good. But we have the responsibility of looking after 350 professionals. I just hope that whatever they announce, it is done in coordination with our tournaments. That's all. If someone adds value to the game, they should—but it has to be done properly," he added. Former India allrounder Yuvraj Singh is the co-owner and brand ambassador of IGPL, which has been sanctioned by the Indian Golf Union and approved by the sports ministry. The league, expected to be a three-day event with no cuts, has so far signed 30 players—a mix of active veterans, women professionals, and amateurs. 'Freebies Will Ruin Young Careers' PGTI CEO Amandeep Johl also voiced concerns about IGPL, stating that giving players 'freebies" could impede their development. 'Golf is about being competitive. If you want to play at the highest level, you have to compete. If players start getting used to free money, you're never going to create world champions," Johl said. 'We are going to play on the DP World Tour, the Olympics, the Asian Games—and we're going to win medals. But if you start giving players freebies, they'll get used to it and stop working hard. They won't need to. That's where the LIV Golf and PGA Tour models differ," he explained. PGTI is affiliated with both the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour) and the PGA Tour. 'We want our players to reach the PGA Tour. The Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese are making it there. I want to make life easier for our players—and that's why they appreciate what we're doing," said Johl, adding that they are collaborating with partners like Air India and hotel chains to improve travel and accommodation for players. 'But they must compete. If I start handing out freebies, I'm ruining their future," he said. The IGPL has enlisted Indian golf veterans such as Shiv Kapur, Gaganjeet Bhullar, Gaurav Ghei, Jyoti Randhawa, and SSP Chawrasia. 'It's perfectly fine for a new entity to take care of players who are no longer competitive. They've spent their lives playing for India, competing at the highest level—they deserve to be looked after. They can't match the younger guys now, but they still need to earn a living," Johl said. 'With the format IGPL is offering, they'll have a good life. And like Kapil said, if money is coming into the sport, that's great. We have no problems with that. Absolutely no problems," he added.

Mercedes-AMG GT Track Sport Concept teased with V8 power to take on the 911 GT3 RS
The Mercedes-AMG GT portfolio is extensive, featuring a broad range of powertrain options that offer everything from a turbocharged inline-four to a twin-turbo plug-in hybrid V8. But the 'GT family is not yet complete," the brand remarks as it teases the upcoming GT Track Sport. While this is currently labelled as a concept, we can expect a production version as AMG says it is giving us a 'preview of a possible expansion of the GT series with a V8 engine." Not much is known about the heavily camouflaged Mercedes-AMG GT Track Sport Concept, with the company describing it as an uncompromising concept vehicle that is 'designed for absolute driving dynamic peak performance to set new standards and record times." However, a road-going version is highly likely; the upcoming generation of AMG's GT3 race car must be homologated with a street-legal production model according to regulations. To this end, the new concept will, in all likelihood, birth a hardcore grand tourer to be slotted above the AMG GT 63 Pro in the company's lineup. Also Read : Mercedes-Benz car in mind? Here's why this might be the best time to buy it. Mercedes-AMG GT Track Sport Concept: What we know so far The AMG GT Track Sport will rival the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and is likely to bring a 2-seater design (Mercedes-AMG) The GT Track Sport brings a new, distinctive front grille with a large front splitter underneath and a massive swan-neck rear wing fixed at the rear. Its racing credentials are apparent, with top-mounted fender vents and an air duct positioned next to the headlamp. The car appears to target the likes of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS (both on and off the track), and as such, is likely to ditch the usual 2+2 seating layout in favour of a much sportier 2-seater configuration. The street-legal version that we're hoping for may stick to the softer, coupe layout. There are no official details regarding its powertrain, but the GT Track Sport is confirmed to house a V8 engine under the hood. The current 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 within the AMG range makes between 476 bhp and 612 bhp for the non-hybrids. When combined with hybrid power in the GT 63 SE Performance, the output jumps to 816 bhp. Check out Upcoming Cars in India 2025, Best SUVs in India. First Published Date:
