After an overwhelming response to the first edition, we hosted the second edition of this one-of-a-kind event - the Habitat for Humanity Charity Golf Tournament 2019.
Extending the spirit of sportsmanship and magnanimity he shows in the sports field to areas of social responsibility, legendary international cricketer Brian Lara inaugurated the second edition of Habitat for Humanity India’s Charity Golf Tournament at Willingdon Sports Club, Mumbai on 6th December 2019.

Badrinath and Ajit Agarkar. Shariq Kajiji won the tournament overall with the best overall net score, with Riaz Batliwala scoring the best gross score in the golf tournament.
