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 returned on October 6. This year’s host was legendary golfer Annika Sörenstam, often regarded as the greatest female golfer of all-time with over 95 worldwide victories. Patrick McEnroe, President of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, broadcast commentator, and former professional player joined us on the tennis courts. We welcomed golf chair Kwame Onwuachi, tennis chairs Simon Kim, David Shim, and Kerry Heffernan, and culinary chair Alex Lee.

The tournament brought 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. The day of play concluded with a tasting reception that has everyone mingling.  

The 2025 tournament raised enough to help feed 1.5 million New Yorkers in need.
