 Reto GaudenziA former hotel executive from the Engadin region, Reto began playing polo in 1978 and eventually won the 1993 European Championship for Switzerland. Often referred to as the "godfather" of alternative-surface polo, he originated the concept of snow polo in 1985 by staging the first Snow Polo World Cup on the frozen lake of St. Moritz—the same iconic location now serving as the backdrop for high-profile 24-hour global broadcasts. In 2004, he partnered with the Habtoor family to launch the world's first beach polo tournament in Dubai, followed by the inaugural Miami Beach Polo World Cup in 2005. Through his company World Polo, he has organized over 100 international tournaments. 

 Tito GaudenziReto’s son, Tito, grew up immersed in the sport, training at the family's farm in Argentina before building his own career as a professional player and sports marketer. He co-founded the Miami Beach Polo World Cup alongside his father in 2005. As the founder of Lifestyle Polo, Tito has since taken over the operational reins of his father's marquee sand and snow events. He now manages the brand, commercial partnerships, and logistics for tournaments like Miami Beach and Kitzbühel while actively competing on the field.
