The AmCham Golf Tournament marked its 25th anniversary, celebrating a quarter of a century of bringing together the transatlantic community for a day of golf and friendly competition! Generously sponsored by Liberty Mutual and PwC, the tournament was held at the picturesque Asker Golf Club.
Breaking previous participation records, this year brought together 29 teams and 110 players, all competing for the coveted Søderstrøm Cup and a top prize of Icelandair flights to any of their US destinations.
The tournament’s format, Texas Scramble and special hole competitions, kept the golfers on their toes as they enjoyed this special day ”at work”
The weather was on our side as the sun shone brightly from a cloudless sky, and the players competed for the third time at Asker’s stunning course. Lucid Motors displayed a model Air on the course and players could enjoy a cold beverage on the 18th hole.
Present and beaming on the course were AmCham Golf Tournament co-founders Tim Keane and Jan Søderstrøm, who have shaped what has become one of Norway’s largest corporate golf tournaments.
PwC Team 2 came in first place and won the Søderstrøm Cup, coffee and merchandise from Starbucks, AmCham whiskey glasses, and four round trip tickets from Icelandair.
Last year’s winners, Bardo Foundation, came in second, just ahead of Hard Rock,Manpower,and AmCham Guest Team in third. The prizes for second and third place included prizes from Thon Hotels, Mondelez, Amerikalinjen,Hertz, Cavour and Wabba Snacks.
Fourth and fifth place went to Google Team 1 and Global Blue Norge, taking home prizes from Kahoot!, the National Museum, McDonald’s, Odeon, Jelly Belly, and Asker Golf Club.
Embassy Team 1 snatched the prize for Best Dressed, playing in patriotic striped piquets including matching decorated golf carts, taking home an official certificate and a jerky gift basket.
As in previous years, several individual prizes were awarded. June Teigen from GE Healthcare won the women’s Longest Drive, with Erik Seeck from Google winning the men’s, each winning gift baskets from IC Scandinavia and sunglasses from Shades of Norway.
The Closest to the Pin prize went to Christian Ringvold from Aker, awarding him “Dinner for the Winner” at Hard Rock Cafe Oslo and a weekend with a Lucid Air. A total of 11 players competed in the Putting competition, with Joachim Rasmussen from PwC Team 2 walking away with a bottle of American wine and a gift card for Afternoon “Tee” for two at Hotel Bristol.
The tournament was rounded off with a delicious BBQ buffet on the terrace and celebratory cake.
Overall, the 25th Tournament was a resounding success, celebrating its rich history while looking forward to many more years of connecting AmCham members.
A big thank you to our tournament sponsors, Liberty Mutual and PwC, our generous beverage partner Coca-Cola, as well as our prize sponsors.
