New Delhi: The 5th edition of the Delhi Golf Club Members League powered by Radico will tee off at the iconic Delhi Golf Club on March 26, 2026, reaffirming its position as India’s premier amateur golf league.

Featuring 24 teams and 480 golfers, the League brings together a diverse field of juniors, ladies, senior members, and seasoned players in a uniquely inclusive and highly competitive format. The tournament will conclude with the grand finale on April 18, 2026.

Since its inception in 2021, the League has witnessed remarkable growth—from 18 teams to 24 teams—underscoring its rising stature in Indian golf. The 2024 edition produced a dramatic finish, with MMG Coca-Cola and Tee Birds sharing the title after a gripping playoff that remained unresolved even after five holes.

The competition will be played in a four-ball better ball match play format, with teams progressing from a round robin stage to knockout rounds, ensuring high-quality and closely contested matches throughout.

Mr. Raj Khosla, President, Delhi Golf Club, stated that “What began as a modest initiative has evolved into a flagship golfing event. The 5th edition reflects the passion and commitment of our members, sponsors, and participants who continue to raise the bar each year.”

Mr. Vikram Seth, Captain, Delhi Golf Club, added that “The League’s strength lies in its inclusivity and competitive spirit. It is rare to see such a diverse mix of players competing at this level, making it truly special.”
