The prestigious annual Duke of Edinburgh Cup World Final takes place this week in London, England and for the 12th consecutive year, India is well represented by winners of two charity golf events that offer the winners a spot at the incredible event.
The event offers the winners, who come together from around the world, a round of golf at the Royal Family’s private course on the grounds of Windsor Castle, followed by a black-tie champagne dinner in Windsor Castle’s state ballroom with a truly unforgettable experience with a member of the Royal Family. However, rounds at the exclusive Wentworth Golf Club, where the European Tour’s BMW PGA Championship was recently staged, also make up the tournament experience.

Two Indians are from Bangalore’s annual Christel House Charity fundraising tournament held at KGA last summer – Arnav Chatterjee and Mihir Jayaraman while two – Sachin Mehta and MD Sinha are winners of the famous MadhavRao Scindia memorial Golf Tournament hosted for the past 15 years by DLF G&CC, Gurgaon.
The two events in India together raise over Rs 1 crore for their respective charities and have been recognised as two of the best charity golf events in the world for the past several events and hence the winners get invited to the Duke of Edinburgh World Cup finals in London each year.
