Early life
Jaglan was born in village Israna, Panipat district, Haryana. His father is a milkman by profession and his family practices Pehlwani. He received his primary education in his village and now studies at the Laxman Public School in Delhi.[1][6]
Amateur career
An NRI named Kapur Singh started a golf academy in Jaglan's village. Jaglan was enrolled into the academy by his grandfather. Against the wishes of his family and despite the academy shutting down, Jaglan continued his practice on a small piece of land in his backyard. This land was cleaned by his father and converted into a green with three holes. Most of Jaglan's formative training was self-taught from videos on YouTube.
He was later spotted by The Golf Foundation that gave him annual scholarship of INR 2.0 lakh and a membership in the Delhi Golf Club, which in turn helped the father and son to relocate to Delhi to continue his training.[1][6]
Jaglan played college golf in the United States at the University of South Florida from 2021 to 2025 winning once among eight top-10 finishes in 45 starts.[7]
