The PGTI’s 72 The League said on Friday that leading pros from eleven countries will go under the hammer on what promises to be a trend-setting day for the sport in India.
A total of 60 spots will be up for grabs in the competition as six franchises will pick 10 golfers each for their respective teams, for a total auction amount of Rs 6 crore (Rs 1 crore per team/franchise).
