2. Mid-Amateur Category (35-54 years)

3. Senior Category (55-64 years)

4. Super Senior Category (65 years and above)

In the first edition of the Mahitosh Ray Memorial Amateur Open 2024, Anshul Mishra and Anaahat Bindra won the Mahitosh Ray Memorial Trophy for the best gross scores.

Chairman and Managing Director, Keventer group, Mayank Jalan said, “As a proud sponsor and passionate supporter of the sport, we are thrilled to be part of the Mahitosh Ray Memorial Amateur Open 2025. These tournaments are a testament to the rising talent and unwavering spirit of golf in Bengal. We look forward to witnessing the next generation of champions showcase their skills and sportsmanship on the course!”

This is the second edition of this competition, Mr. Mayukh Ray, son of the Late Mr. Mahitosh Ray, said,” My beloved father, Mr. Mahitosh Ray, was a very avid golfer himself. He used to look forward to his 18 holes every weekend, and he used to have a special hole called the 19th hole, which was just refreshments where he’d hang around with his friends. He was always very encouraging of junior golf and amateur golf, and I think this sport has a long way to go, even today, with all the sponsors coming in, it is not as popular as cricket. He wanted the spot to really grow, and I’m happy that Protouch has enabled us to have an opportunity to do something in his memory.”
