Jeev Milkha Singh Ends 13-Year Drought With Colombo Win as IGPL Debut Season Concludes

The 54-year-old's victory delivered a defining finale for the new tour, highlighting razor‑thin season standings.

Overview

  • Singh closed with a six‑under 65 at Royal Colombo Golf Course to finish 15‑under and win by one shot over Aryan Roopa Anand.
  • Aryan carded a 68 to finish at 14‑under, needing an eagle at the par‑4 18th to force a playoff but settling for a birdie.
  • The title is Singh’s first professional win since 2012, and he called it deeply emotional given his parents first met in Sri Lanka.
  • Pukhraj Singh Gill secured the season’s Order of Merit despite a T‑12 finish, edging Aman Raj by less than Rs 9,000 after 11 events.
  • Gill’s Rs 81,90,652 season total brings entry to the US$2 million International Series event in India and a berth in an Asian Tour event with Open Qualifying spots.
