Players are free to participate in the club of their choice while the competition takes place according to the “Scramble for two” formula. Former champion and modernizer of tennis in France, Philippe Chatrier died of Alzheimer's disease in 2000.

Immediately, his son Jean-Philippe mobilized and created a foundation in the name of his father, dedicated to research against this disease and funded by a golf tournament! After the sudden death of Jean-Philippe in July 2010, Catherine Sabbag-Nahoum becomes president of the Foundation. Close to Jean-Philippe, she willingly presents herself as a relay. “Today Norman, Jean-Philippe's son, is twenty years old. Perhaps he will one day be happy to take over from his father? ” In the meantime, the energy of Catherine Sabbag has enabled the Foundation to experience a year rich in action and projects. This year, two researchers were, for example, rewarded by the Foundation: doctors Catherine Marqueur and Renaud La Joie. Both received a grant of 30 euros to continue their research project at the universities of Columbia and Berkeley respectively.

The competitions, for players of all levels, in which personalities and journalists also participate, take place in regional qualifying phases, followed by national finals at the Club du Lys Chantilly for Golf and at Roland Garros for Tennis. They have lots thanks to the generosity of the sponsors. The profits collected are entirely donated to the "Fondation Philippe Chatrier" (under the aegis of the Fondation de France) to support research on Alzheimer's disease. Note that donations made to the Philippe Chatrier Golf Trophy and the Philippe Chatrier Tennis Trophy as well as the registration fees for the competition are tax-exempt and are the subject of a receipt.
