World‑ranked archer Casey Kaufhold will compete in the second season of India's Archery Premier League, marking her first appearance in the tournament.
The Archery Premier League (APL) has confirmed that American archer Casey Kaufhold will join the roster for its second season. Kaufhold, a multiple‑time World Cup medalist and former Olympian, becomes the latest international talent to be invited to the Indian franchise‑based competition.
APL Season 2, organized by the Archery Association of India, aims to raise the sport's profile by featuring top shooters from around the world alongside India’s leading archers. Kaufhold’s participation is expected to enhance the competitive standard and draw greater viewership.
The league’s schedule runs from late September to early November, with matches hosted across several Indian cities. Kaufhold will compete in the recurve category, the same discipline in which she represented the United States at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Her debut is being closely watched by Indian fans and officials, who see her presence as an opportunity for domestic archers to benchmark against a world‑class opponent.
The APL’s organizers have not disclosed the exact matchups yet, but Kaufhold is slated to appear in the opening fixtures, marking a historic first for an American archer in the league.
