Md Munna and Mohammed Ripon emerged as the standout performers at the BPGA Development Tour 2025, held at the picturesque Jolshiri Golf Club — a platform designed to nurture emerging talent and bridge the gap between amateur promise and professional success.
Md Munna, who recently impressed at the Bangladesh Amateur Open in Savar, delivered a composed and confident performance to claim the title. His victory is particularly significant, raising the question of whether an amateur has ever topped a professional leaderboard in a BPGA-sanctioned event. If not, Munna may have etched his name in history.
In the professional division, Mohammed Ripon of Arunima Resort Golf Club (ARGC) proved his mettle by converting his overnight lead into a hard-earned victory. His consistency and focus throughout the event underlined his readiness for the next stage in his career.
The prize-giving ceremony was presided over by Major General Masud Razzak, President of the Bangladesh Professional Golfers’ Association (BPGA), who praised the players’ performances and reaffirmed the association’s commitment to advancing professional golf in the country.
The BPGA Development Tour continues to serve as a crucial stepping stone for Bangladesh’s next generation of golf professionals. With performances like these, the future of golf in the country looks increasingly promising.
