European Ryder Cup Star and six-time DP World Tour winner showed their support of breast cancer care in partnership with Heritage Resorts & Golf and the Siem Together Foundation.
(Mauritius, 13 August 2025) European Ryder Cup star Nicolas Colsaerts and six-time DP World Tour winner Marcel Siem joined Heritage Resorts & Golf and the Siem Together Foundation for the inaugural AfrAsia Bank Charity Classic Swing, in support of breast cancer care.
Led by Laura Siem, a survivor of breast cancer herself and the founder of the Siem Together Foundation, the event saw 88 golf enthusiasts, committed personalities, and partners come together on Le Château Golf Course, consistently ranked the Indian Ocean’s best layout, to raise nearly Rs 3 million (56,770 Euro / 49,250 GBP) for Breast Cancer Care Mauritius and those affected by the illness on the island.
On the success of the first event of its kind, Laura said: “It was very touching to see so many come together and donate so much for a cause so close to my heart.
“The inaugural AfrAsia Bank Charity Classic Swing was simply extraordinary and a resounding success from start to finish. I couldn’t have done it without the help and support of our sponsors, those who took part on the day, and of course my husband and fellow Heritage Resorts & Golf ambassador Nicolas Colsaerts, who added element of stardust to the event.”
Members of the Indian Ocean’s only 45-hole golf resort were treated earlier in the week to an exclusive event hosted by the ambassador duo, which pitted Belgium’s first Ryder Cup player against fellow DP World Tour professional and island resident Marcel Siem in a team head-to-head showdown on La Réserve Golf Links, the region’s first and only contemporary links course.
With signed memorabilia, special Pro Shop vouchers and ultimate bragging rights up for grabs, team Colsaerts claimed victory on the day, winning 10 points to eight.
“We are extremely grateful to our ambassadors for being so involved in our events and for sharing in our passions, commitments and values,” commented Raoul Maurel, Chief Operations Officer at Heritage Resorts & Golf.
“All the participants felt extremely privileged to take part in these unique events and spend time with two world class players – access to whom, some said, was only what you could only dream about, especially so up-close and personal.
“Having not one but two of golf’s well-known names as genuine Friends of Heritage is an absolute honour and we look forward to future iterations of these events and others, which I’m sure will be added to our calendar,” he added.
Representing Heritage Resorts’ award-winning golf offering, Colsaerts and Siem aim to elevate Heritage Golf Club and La Réserve Golf Links’ global reputation, firmly putting the World Top 25 Resort on the golfing map and reinforcing its status as a premier destination.
