Known to many as “Mr. Golf,” Nazeem “Papo” Haniff passed away Tuesday at the age of 59 in Trinidad and Tobago.
The former nine-time Guyana Open champion had been admitted to the hospital before falling into a coma Saturday last.
He will be laid to rest today in Trinidad.
Haniff was described by his niece, Dr. Joaan Deo as her mentor in the sport and yesterday she reflected on the important role he had played in her development as a golfer and as a person.
