On the death anniversary of the Father of the Nation, we remember Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah not only as the founder of Pakistan, but also as a leader who recognized the importance of sports and physical development in building a strong nation. In 1948, just months after the creation of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam inaugurated the First Pakistan National Games in Karachi. He also donated a Challenge Shield from his private funds, which became the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, continuing as the prestigious trophy for the National Games. His message to the nation was clear: “For sound minds we should have sound bodies.” He encouraged the youth to build strength, discipline and character through sport, and urged the nation to “Build up Pakistan Higher, Firmer and Strong.” 🏌️‍♂️ Golf, too, embodies many of these values — discipline, patience, concentration, integrity, fitness and respect. On this day, the golf community pays tribute to the Quaid by celebrating his enduring vision of a healthy, disciplined and confident Pakistani youth.

The Pakistan Golf Federation extends its sincere appreciation to the Government of Sindh and Sardar Muhammad Allah Bakhsh Mahar, Provincial Minister for Sports & Youth Affairs, Sindh, for recognising and rewarding the medal-winning golfers of Sindh at the National Games 2025. This initiative is more than a cash award—it is recognition of sporting excellence and an investment in our athletes. By honouring players who brought medals and pride to their province, the Government of Sindh has set an excellent example of how sporting achievement should be celebrated and encouraged. We are particularly grateful that our golfers have received this recognition and reward. 🏅 GOLF CASH AWARD RECIPIENTS 🥇 GOLD • Sadiq Habib — Male Team — PKR 200,000 • Saim Shazli — Male Team — PKR 200,000 • Abdullah Ansar — Male Team — PKR 200,000 🥈 SILVER • Sadiq Habib — Male Individual — PKR 300,000 • Mudassir Iqbal — Male Team — PKR 150,000 • Waheed Baloch — Male Team — PKR 150,000 • M. Zubair — Male Team — PKR 150,000 • Humaira Khalid — Female Team — PKR 150,000 • Amna Amjad — Female Team — PKR 150,000 • Ayesha Kashif — Female Team — PKR 150,000 • Arooba Ali — Female Individual — PKR 300,000 🥉 BRONZE • Abdullah Ansar — Male Individual — PKR 200,000 The success of these players also demonstrates the importance of National and Inter-Association Team Championships and strong Provincial Teams. When an Association builds and fields a competitive team, the benefits extend far beyond a single championship. Success brings recognition to the players, strengthens the Association, creates provincial pride and encourages government and institutional support for golf. We therefore encourage all Provincial Golf Associations to participate actively in PGF championships, particularly team events, and to identify, prepare and field their strongest possible teams. We also hope that other Provincial Governments will follow this excellent example by recognising and rewarding their medal-winning athletes. Such initiatives provide tremendous motivation to players and contribute directly to the development of sport across Pakistan. Stronger Teams. Stronger Provinces. Stronger Pakistan. 🇵🇰⛳

Pakistan Golf Federation congratulates two of its outstanding young golfers, **Muhammad Irtaza Hussain and Saad Habib Malik**, as they take an important step forward in their academic and golfing careers in the United States through **fully funded scholarship opportunities**. This achievement is the result of a journey that began years ago. From their junior days, PGF recognised their potential and invested in their development by providing competitive opportunities at home and sending them on **fully funded international assignments**, giving them exposure to different courses, stronger fields and international championship environments. **Muhammad Irtaza Hussain** progressed through Pakistan's junior golf development pathway and represented Pakistan internationally, including at the **APGC Junior Championship in the Philippines** and the **Faldo Series Asia Grand Final in Vietnam**. He has now entered the U.S. collegiate golf system with **Glenville State University**. **Saad Habib Malik** has represented Pakistan extensively, including at the **Nomura Cup, APGC Junior Championship, Faldo Series Asia Grand Final, Zhibek Zholy Cup in Kazakhstan and Sri Lanka Amateur Championship**. His consistent performances and international exposure have now opened the door to the next chapter of his career, with a scholarship opportunity at the **University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA)**. Their progress represents exactly what a junior development pathway should achieve: **Identify talent → Develop talent → Provide international exposure → Create opportunities → Prepare players for the world stage.** For PGF, their scholarships are not simply individual achievements. They demonstrate how sustained investment in junior golf and international exposure can create **educational as well as sporting opportunities** for talented Pakistani players. Pakistan Golf Federation is immensely proud to have supported their journey from junior golf in Pakistan to international competition. We wish **Muhammad Irtaza Hussain and Saad Habib Malik** every success in this exciting new chapter
