“The Princess” a great success

Bielefeld. The first golf tournament on the European Challenge Tour with Schüco International KG as the presenting sponsor was a resounding success. The event chosen was “The Princess by Schüco” in the southern Swedish town of Bara, near Malmo – a tournament hosted by Sweden’s Henrik Stenson, a Schüco brand ambassador. The unusual name for the tournament was in honour of Stenson's very own “princess”, his young daughter Lisa. And this is no ordinary event, for the Swede feels very keenly that the focus should not only be on the sport. “There are so many children that need help and I want to contribute with my foundation,” he explains. “I hope that this will continue to grow and enable children in need to develop through sport.”
