Bengaluru, India – The Marriott Bonvoy Charity Golf Tournament 2025 returned in grand fashion, blending competitive golf with a strong philanthropic purpose at the scenic Prestige Golfshire Club. Hosted in partnership with JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa, the annual event brought together golfers, business leaders, influencers, and hospitality professionals for a day that went well beyond the fairways.
Led by the Marriott India Business Council, the tournament concluded with an elegant Charity Auction Dinner, raising vital funds for Rising Star Outreach, a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering children and families affected by leprosy in India.
Golf with a Purpose
Acclaimed Indian golfer and Arjuna Award recipient Shiv Kapur once again lent his support to the initiative, strengthening the tournament’s message of sport-driven social impact. His presence on the course and at the auction dinner added both inspiration and prestige, while his engagement with participants elevated the overall experience.
Now in its seventh edition, the Marriott Bonvoy Charity Golf Tournament continues to stand out as a flagship example of how golf can be a powerful platform for change. Building on last year’s success, where over ₹75 lakh was raised to establish The Marriott Wing at a Rising Star Outreach school in Raxaul, the 2025 edition achieved an impressive milestone.
This year’s tournament raised ₹1.14 crore, enabling further support for communities impacted by leprosy in Bihar and Chennai, and expanding access to education and opportunity for hundreds of children.
A Growing Legacy of Impact
Speaking on the occasion, Kiran Andicot, SVP – Development & Operations, South Asia, Marriott International, highlighted the deeper purpose behind the event, noting how the tournament continues to unite sport and social responsibility. The strong turnout and enthusiastic participation at the auction gala reflected the growing commitment among partners and guests to make every swing count.
Shiv Kapur echoed the sentiment, describing the tournament as a rare blend of passion for golf and meaningful contribution. He emphasised that the opportunity to support a cause like Rising Star Outreach adds lasting value to the sport and makes the experience truly memorable.
Community Support Beyond the Greens
The success of the Marriott Bonvoy Charity Golf Tournament 2025 was further strengthened by the support of key partners, including Diversey, ECOLAB, DurgaDas, Parity Solution, Prime Net, Ocean Glass, Shiji Group, Makaibari, and Servesy Dotcom Private Limited. Their involvement played a crucial role in driving the event’s impact and reach.
The day featured media interactions, tournament briefings, and a spirited round of golf before concluding with an evening of exclusive auctions, fine dining, and live entertainment at the JW Marriott Bengaluru Prestige Golfshire Resort & Spa. All proceeds from the evening were directed towards Rising Star Outreach of India.
By combining world-class hospitality, competitive golf, and a clear social mission, the Marriott Bonvoy Charity Golf Tournament 2025 once again reinforced Marriott International’s commitment to giving back proving that golf can be a force for positive change, one swing at a time.
