Let the tourney take off first: Kapil on IGPL

Legendary cricketer Kapil Dev, who is the president of Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI) made it clear that their body can’t work with the Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL), at this stage as it has the responsibility of catering to 350 professionals, not just a select group of senior golfers.

Asked if PGTI could work with IGPL, Kapil was categorical: “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 want to do the same. We are the organisation that looks after all professionals—not just a group.

“Time will come, maybe it will work out. But today, it's not possible. I have the responsibility of 350 golfers, not just 20. I have to see the bigger picture—for my team, my board, and everyone involved. Of course, I'd like it if they worked with us,” he added.
