The Asian Tour's growing collaboration with the Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL) advances this year with two back-to-back events at Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort in El Jadida, Morocco.
The Am Green IGPL Morocco Rising Stars 2026 kicks off a thrilling series of tournaments in North Africa, running from May 28-31. It's co-sanctioned by the Asian Development Tour (ADT) and IGPL.
The next week, the $500,000 Bharath Classic starts June 4-7, backed by the Asian Tour and IGPL. Last year, during the IGPL's debut season, it took place in Ahmedabad; now it's shifting to Casablanca for smoother player travel.
The three-week swing wraps up with the International Series Morocco at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam (Red Course) from June 11-14.

“This marks an exciting milestone for the Asian Tour and Asian Development Tour,” said Cho Minn Thant, Commissioner & CEO of the Asian Tour.
“We're delighted to provide our members with three straight weeks of competitions in Morocco, where the sport is advancing rapidly under the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation and Hassan II Golf Trophy Association.
“This stems from our strengthening ties with IGPL, who are diligently expanding golf in India and elsewhere via innovative efforts. We appreciate IGPL's addition of an ADT event and their flexibility in rescheduling and moving the Bharath Classic to fit our Asian Tour calendar.”
The top two non-exempt players finishing in the top 10 at the Am Green IGPL Morocco Rising Stars 2026 will receive invitations to the Bharath Classic, which Thailand's Poosit Supupramai won last year (main picture).
IGPL CEO Uttam Singh Mundy added: “We're proud to bring the Am Green Bharath Classic and Am Green IGPL Morocco Rising Stars to this dynamic event lineup in North Africa. Our sincere thanks to His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid and the Association du Trophée Hassan II for supporting our mission to boost opportunities for golfers and develop the sport regionally.”
The ADT event carries a $160,000 purse and follows the Tour's first Moroccan outings last year—two Morocco Rising Stars Marrakech stops won by Philippines' Aidric Chan and Carl Jano Corpus.
This news comes shortly after the International Series and IGPL announced a partnership granting India's leading IGPL players entry to the Series and LIV Golf Promotions event.
