Tik tok tik tok…….finaly the match awaited Professional Golfers of Kenya (PGK) season comes to an end with the Grand Finale of the Pro Am Tour at the par 71 Nyali Golf and Country Club on Wednesday.

Being a 72-hole competition and with a lot at stake, especially with four players being in a position to bag the bragging rights, the next four will certainly be breath taking. The four include leader Nicholas Rokoine of Muthaiga who has had a season to remember, but PGK chairman Riz Charania, last year’s order of merit winner Dismas Indiza of Mumias and Thika’s Simon Ngige.

This year’s grand finale has attracted a total of 54 professionals, 33 of them being Kenyans, while eight are from Ugandan and nine are from Tanzanian. Rwanda has two representatives in the competition and a single representative from Ethiopia.

PGK Captain Peter Njagi of Kiambu who will also be in action said: “This is the biggest number of Pros to participate in each of the tour legs since it kicked off in February this year.”

He also announced that the prize money for the grand finale stood at Kshs 3 million for the Pro winners. In total, sponsors KCB committed Kshs. 9 million toward the support of this year’s tour series.

So far 30 professional golfers and more than 100 amateurs have taken a shot at the top honours in the tour. PGK also organized pro golf clinics at each event for upcoming golfing enthusiasts. nike air max 1 nike air max 1
