Guinness world record holder and renowned sculptor Amit Pabuwal today unveiled the winner's trophy for the second iGATE CEO Cup Golf tournament to be held next year.

"It is not a mere winner's trophy but it is history being created," an elated Pabuwal said at the unveiling function of the trophy which is the world's biggest and heaviest sports trophy of the world.

The tournament will be played in March 21-22, 2014 at the legendary Pinehurst Resort & Country Club in North Carolina, USA.

Pabuwal is a well known figure and hogged the lime light by designing trophies of Independence Cup, Hero Cup, MRF World Cup, T-20 World Cup, Wills World cup, Indian Oil World Cup, ICL, F1 Race trophies amongst others.
 

IGATE, a leading outsourcing services company, in association with Forbes had recently announced the second iGATE CEO Cup Golf tournament.

In this edition, the iGATE CEO Cup will have a global scope as CEOs of Global 2000 companies will be invited to compete for total prize money of USD 120,000. Winners will donate their prize money to the charities of their choice.

"It is a big honour to be associated with such a huge event. The trophy I have designed is a priceless creation. The 21-inches-tall iGATE CEO Cup is one and one-half times bigger than the FIFA World Cup trophy - the largest trophy so far. The iGATE CEO Cup trophy is made with 8.6 kilograms of gold and emblazoned with diamonds and rubies," he said.

"You people are lucky because you are seeing this amazing trophy which might never come back to India. It is being flown to US," he added.
