Chandigarh’s Guntas Kaur Sandhu will lead the Indian girls’ golf team in the Queen Sirikit Cup at the Sentul Highlands Golf Club in Bogor, Indonesia. The event is scheduled from May 12 to 15.
The 15-year-old (2025) Ladies Order of Merit winner, Guntas has six wins this season, and 17 top-10 finishes from 20 starts in the 2025-26 IGU season. She recently won the Ladies and Combined A&B category titles of the IGU West Bengal Ladies & Junior Girls golf Championship, last month.
The other members of the team are Haryana’s Ceerat Kang and Keya Badugu of Delhi. Vandana Aggarwal will be accompanying the team as manager. The team has been selected by the Indian Golf Union (IGU).
Organised by the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation (APGC) in association with The R&A (world golf rules governing body), a total of 15 countries, including defending champions South Korea, Australia, China, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, India, hosts Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Myanmar, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, will be competing in the event.
“Representing the country is a huge honour. The Queen Sirikit Cup is a prestigious team event in amateur golf. It is a major event in my career as it will give me international exposure and opportunity to compete with the best players, work harder, stay focused and enhance my game. The IGU has been extremely supportive in helping me improve my game,” said Guntas.
The Queen Sirikit Cup, officially known as the Amateur Ladies Asia-Pacific Invitational Golf Team Championship and named after Thailand’s erstwhile queen, was inaugurated in 1979. India has competed in this tournament ever since the inaugural edition that featured nine nations. In 2023, Avani Prashanth won the individual title in the Queen Sirikit Cup, ending a 43-year title drought.
