On Wednesday 13 May, the Prince and Princess presided over the prize-giving ceremony for the first edition of the “Formula E Monte-Carlo Tee Prix”, a charity golf tournament held at the Monte-Carlo Golf Club in aid of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation.
A few days ahead of the 10th and 11th editions of the Monaco E-Prix on 16 and 17 May, Formula E drivers, sponsors and VIPs gathered on the green for a unique competition on the prestigious Monegasque course. Played as a “Scramble”, the tournament challenged participants with a series of skill-based events, notably in the “Nearest the Pin” and “Longest Drive” categories.

Gareth Wittstock presented the third prize, whilst Prince Albert II presented the second prize to the ‘Aurora’ team, comprising Lee Flay, Matt Beal, Lee Attreed and Westbury Gillett.

The first prize was presented by Princess Charlène to the “Influencers” team, comprising Seb Delanney, Emma Houlmière, Mathilde Ostrowski and Maximilian Günther. Günther, a German driver for the DS Penske team in the Formula E World Championship, shone on the green before returning to the tarmac of the Monaco circuit this weekend for the double E-Prix.
The proceeds from the tournament will be donated to the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, which works in particular to promote sport and encourage young people to take up swimming.
