Overview

For the second year in succession, the Asian Tour embarks on an exciting North African adventure with three events being sanctioned in Morocco.

This week’s am green IGPL Bharath Classic follows on from the am green IGPL Morocco Rising Stars 2026 – won by Tanapat Pichaikool from Thailand last weekend on the Asian Development Tour – before next week’s International Series Morocco presented by Visit Morocco in Rabat.

The Asian Tour’s evolving partnership with the Indian Golf Premier League (IGPL) is an important part of this stretch with this week’s and last week’s tournaments joint sanctioned.

The events represent another important step forward in terms of the relationship with the IGPL – which is playing such an important role in promoting the game of golf in the world’ most populous country.

These tournaments also enable the Asian Tour to continue to forge ties with the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation and the Hassan II Golf Trophy Association.

His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid, the President of both organisations, has been a driving force behind the push for more tournaments in his country and the creation of more playing opportunities for players in the region.

Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort, this week’s venue, is a spectacular golfing property located on the Atlantic coast of Morocco and boasts an 18-hole course designed by nine-time major champion Gary Player from South Africa.

The resort hosted last week’s IGPL Morocco Rising Stars 2026 on the Asian Development Tour.

Tournament Notes

• South African Ian Snyman is coming into the week in great form following his first Asian Tour win at the Taiwan Glass Taifong Open last month and a T10 in the KOLON Korea Open two weeks ago. He also finished T3 at the notoriously difficult Namseoul Country Club at the GS Caltex Maekyung Open the week prior to his win in Chinese Taipei. He had early in the season also posted a T5 at the season opening Philippine Golf Championship. Currently third on the Order of Merit.
• Thailand’s Pavit Tangkamolprasert, currently in fourth place on the Order of Merit, started 2026 with great results including a runner-up at the season opening Philippine Golf Championship and a T2 in the International Series Japan. He also had an early season T2 on the All Thailand Tour after a playoff loss to compatriot Danthai Boonma. Slightly off his early season form in his last few tournaments while still making the cuts.
• Charlie Lindh from Sweden recorded his best Asian Tour result to date two weeks ago when he finished solo-second at the KOLON Korea Open. He also had a T6 at the New Zealand Open presented by Millbrook Resort in the beginning of March.

• American Austen Truslow is having a good season on the Asian Tour with a T4 at International Series Japan, a T9 at the Philippine Golf Championship and a T13 at the KOLON Korea Open. He also won his first professional event earlier in the season, the The Quinovic New Zealand PGA Championship, on the PGA Tour of Australasia.
• The 2019 Order of Merit winner Jazz Janewattananond from Thailand posted his last tournament win in Morocco, at the 2022 International Series Morocco. This season his best results has been a T3 at the Singapore Open in April, as well as a runner-up result on the Asian Development Tour in late March. He is currently tied for ninth in all-time Asian Tour wins with seven.
• Poosit Supupramai will attempt to defend his title. Last year he recorded his maiden victory on the Asian Tour in the inaugural Bharath Classic, played near Ahmedabad, in India. A brilliant birdie on the last, where he a hit nine-iron to 10 feet, saw him win by one from Korean Wooyoung Cho. It was a Tour card saving performance as he was in 81st position on the Asian Tour Order of Merit in what was the penultimate event of the season. The result moved him into 29th place on the Merit list while the win has handed him a one-year exemption on the Tour.
• Tanapat Pichaikool from Thailand won last week’s am green IGPL Morocco Rising Stars 2026 at Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort and is competing this week.
• The event was staged at Kensville Golf Resort in India last year.
