The final of the Esmeralda Charity Cup took place on 23 September 2026 at Golf Club Wylihof. While the qualifying tournaments are marked by sport, enjoyment and a strong sense of community, the final traditionally brings an extra level of concentration. A special prize awaited the winners: a journey to Colombia.

Marc Garzelli (HCP 15.0) and Michael Lolli-Ghetti (HCP 7.6) secured the trophy with 46 net points. In spring 2027, they will travel to Colombia with Juan Alarcon, founder of the Esmeralda Charity Cup, to visit children’s projects supported by the Limmat Foundation and take part in a charity golf tournament.

Alongside the final, a guest tournament was held for sponsors and friends of the Limmat Foundation. In total, 72 golfers took part in both tournaments, enjoying perfect golfing conditions with blue skies and pleasant temperatures.

The day also provided an opportunity to honour a long-standing friend and supporter of the Limmat Foundation. Together with his wife Victoria, Heinrich Müller Noriega has generously supported children’s projects in Colombia since one of the first golf tournaments in the 1990s. After many decades on the board of the Limmat Foundation’s sub-foundation for street children, he stepped down in 2026 due to his age. At the dinner following the tournament, the Limmat Foundation expressed its appreciation for his many years of voluntary service.
