The BORBHAG Cup

How it came about?

The BORBHAG Cup was instituted in 2021 by The BORBHAG Group with a single, clear purpose: to bring the game of golf to the forefront of sporting life in Northeast India. The region possesses significant potential for golf, particularly when integrated with the economic potential driven by tourism and industrial development - and it has a large golf infrastructure, including courses in tea estates, that deserves far greater visibility..

The Inaugural Tournament was held on 3rd January 2021 at Misa Polo Club, Assam - initially envisioned as a competition among clubs from Assam - and saw participation from four states, with more than 88 golfers from seven teams. What began as a regional gathering has since grown into something considerably larger. The Second Edition in January 2023 brought together 96 golfers from 16 clubs across 6 states, including 15 professionals. By the Third Edition in 2024, 120 golfers representing 17 clubs across 5 states had taken part, with 18 professionals competing.

The Fourth Edition - held on 30th November 2025 at Misa Polo Club, Assam - brought together golfers from the Indian Administrative Services, Indian Revenue Services, Indian Police Services, Defence, Civil society, Tea industry, PSUs such as OIL & ONGC, the development sector, railways, para military, reflecting the breadth of community the Cup has come to represent.

Objective

The BORBHAG Cup is an effort to blend heritage with the modern world - augmenting and promoting existing infrastructure, and building platforms through sport that contribute to a spirit of camaraderie. It is also the first dedicated platform for professional golfers in the Northeast region, with the organisers committed to identifying, nurturing, and empowering talent from remote areas - providing opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach, and contributing to both individual excellence and national sporting achievement.

The organisers continue to work towards bringing participation from across the country, with a focus on increased visibility for the courses of the Northeast region. The belief is a simple but ambitious one: that the Northeast has what it takes - in talent, in terrain, and in tradition - to compete on the world stage.

"Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening - and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented."

- Arnold Palmer

Voices from the Fairway

BORBHAG Cup 2025

Golf Courses in Assam have tremendous potential and we must provide the platforms to nurture this talent. Patrons like BORBHAG Foundations and others must come up and provide a platform to promote these golfers and showcase their talent. There is no dearth of talent in the North East - we just need to provide the platform.

Government of Assam is promoting golf and tea tourism. We must link tea gardens with golf and our wildlife parks like Kaziranga bringing more tourists and benefiting the state. Golf should emerge as a driver of high value tourism in Assam. I wish the BORBHAG Group all the best and in the coming days wish they will have a mega event bringing golfers from Southeast Asia to Assam.

Assam has the potential to be the golfing hub for the region, and a critical segway to faster partnership and cooperation to South East Asia. I am glad organisations such as BORBHAG are contributing in this realm. We are home to some of the oldest and most historic golf courses in the country, many in our historic tea estates including Misa Polo Club.

I encourage such platforms which play a role in attracting global tourists, boost local employment and economic development, positioning Assam as a niche player in India's tea-tourism sector as well as enhancing exchanges that bring recognition to the tea industry in Assam.

Today The BORBHAG Cup is one of the top most tournaments in the North East. The quality of the competition reflects this especially when such a diverse group of golfers participate. I especially want to thank friends like the Ligripukhuri Team who has come with a strong delegation from all the way from Sivasagar.

This is a first time that I have joined a golf tournament in Assam and it has been a wonderful event. Today has been an opportunity to meet new people and reconnect with old friends. Golf is a sport that brings everyone together - both on and off the course. I wish BORBHAG all the best and look forward to having more ladies participating as well.

I remember being posted to Jorhat from Srinagar...let me tell you the best things have happened to me during this posting. The kind of friends I have made in Assam - a wonderful set of people which I would have never met if I had been posted to another state. I thank Anirudh and BORBHAG Group for bringing me here and I wish you all the best for the future.

Annual event for all of us and BORBHAG has always been on our itinerary. This year, golfers were divided across three tournaments and it was great to see so many golfers come together here today. Misa is growing with the greens becoming more challenging and great way forward.

Golf has been an amazing sport where you have the opportunity to meet new people. Thank you Anirudh for including us in the initiative - the most fun was that we had a chance to use our drivers for almost 15 holes.

Green was superb and very fast - this is the fourth time I have been here. Although I had an interview coming up in the next three days, I knew I had to be here today. I thank BORBHAG for giving us this opportunity to play and showcase our talent - looking forward to next year.

We play in Manipur in a small golf course - my personal gratitude and appreciation to Misa Polo Club and The BORBHAG Cup and look forward to coming together for this Tournament again and again. We are 12 golfers in Manipur and today 6 of us were able to join this event today. Look forward to having a larger delegation from Manipur next year.

It has been a real honour today that The BORBHAG Group has chosen Misa to host this beautiful Tournament. This is the third time at Misa and they have been promoting golf in a big way. Today, what golf is today is mainly due to Tournament like The BORBHAG Cup, Misa Open and many small tournaments that we have. We had a wonderful tournament with 100 golfers and I welcome and thank all golfers and guests who participated.

It is an honour to be a part of the BORBHAG Cup as a sponsor. I thank the BORBHAG family for inviting us to be part of such a well organised event and foryour dedication to promoting sports within the tea growing areas of Assam. It's inspiring to see the spirit of competition thriving alongside the rich heritage of tea. We are proud to support this.

It was truly a pleasure being associated with "The BORBHAG Cup" as a sponsor. The event was exceptionally well organised, offering a perfect blend of sport, meaningful conversations, and highquality networking. The warmth and hospitality extended by the BORBHAG team made the experience even more memorable. It waheartening to see such a diverse and influential gathering come together in such an elegant yet relaxed setting. We look forward to being part of many more such thoughtfully curated events in the future.

Taking North East
Golf Global

As we enter the fourth year now of an effort that started on the Misa Course by six golfers - five years ago, we have grown and are thankful to Golfers, Clubs, Patrons, our teams and well wishers who have been a part of the journey.

While we have a long way to go - it is heartening to see three tournaments happen on the same day between Assam & Meghalaya. Despite this, The BORBHAG Cup had 97 golfers play this year - showing there is ample space and interest. As platforms, it is now our responsibility to have a regional calendar and better coordination, giving golfers maximum opportunity for play.

In recent times, Golf has increasingly become a force multiplier. it has not only led to the birth of a golf economy but also provided a boost to industries such as tourism and real estate. Our vision is to build, and bring the best golfers to states of the North East as well as provide professionals from the region opportunity to compete on national and international platforms. Further, Golf can act as a unique bridge for diplomacy, tourism, and business including with the South East Asia region and Japan.

In closing, I can only reiterate the importance of PARTNERSHIPS - something that we at BORBHAG display in all that we do. If we have to promote golf - champions like Ministry of Tourism, ATDC; courses like Misa; Clubs & Professional Bodies from across the country - must come together and build an ecosystem that can take golfing to the next level in the state and larger region.

From being the first tournament series that provides caddie turned pros an opportunity to play to building diverse collaborations - we look forward to exciting times for golf ahead.
