Celebrity Chefs & Friends Golf and Tennis Tournament

Monday, October 6, 2025
Montclair Golf Club, West Orange, New Jersey
Hosted by Annika Sörenstam

The sixth annual Celebrity Chefs & Friends Golf and Tennis Tournament Benefiting City Harvest returns on October 6. This year’s host is legendary golfer Annika Sörenstam, often regarded as the greatest female golfer of all-time with over 95 worldwide victories. Joining us on the tennis courts is special guest, Patrick McEnroe, President of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, broadcast commentator, and former professional player. We are pleased to welcome golf chair Kwame Onwuachi, golf special guest Paige Spiranac, tennis chairs Simon Kim, David Shim, and Kerry Heffernan, and culinary chair Alex Lee.

The tournament will bring together more than 85 chefs, restaurateurs, and celebrities to play and socialize with golf, tennis, and pickleball enthusiasts, all while raising money to support City Harvest’s work providing free, nutritious food for New Yorkers in need. This day of play concludes with a tasting reception that has everyone mingling.  

The 2024 tournament raised enough for City Harvest to help feed more than 1.2 million New Yorkers.
