The first leg of the KCB Corporate Golf 2016 tees off at the par 72 Thika Golf Course tomorrow where a rich field of 50 Professional golfers will be turning up to play for the Kshs2 million prize money.

The Thika tour has attracted professional golfers from across the East African region, the Professional Golfers of Kenya (PGK) has said, adding this will give the players an opportunity to practice for the upcoming Kenya Open Golf tournament.

KCB, which has committed at least Ksh20M towards golf sponsorship this year said the Pro-AM round will be the only one of its kind in 2016 for the KCB Corporate Golf 2016 which is an amateur-structured tour traversing more than a dozen golf courses across the country in tournaments and several club nights.

As such, the Thika round will feature a three days Pros only event followed by a one day KCB Corporate Pro-Am Golf tournament to be held on Saturday at the same club.

Hailed as one of the most engaging and competitive golf tournament in the country, KCB Corporate Golf is a major event in the golfing calendar in Kenya. It has for the past 9 years evolved to a regionally recognized competition.

We are focusing on giving more chances to amateur golfers to play as a way of growing golfing in the country and beyond,” said KCB Marketing and Communications Director Angela Mwirigi. This tournament hopes to engage top amateurs in the country such as Hezron Mudanyi, James Nandwa and Joseph Kirachu who are chatting the course for a new crop of golfers with a hunger to win big tournaments. 

This year, the KCB Corporate Golf will feature six tournaments hosted in various golf courses in Nairobi, Kisumu, Kiambu, Nakuru, and Uasin Gishu among other counties. KCB will also host six club nights in select clubs as a platform to reach out to the bank’s customer base.

Having a vision to support top amateurs, the KCB Corporate Golf stands as the only one that sponsors an-year-long guaranteed high end amateur tournament in the country.
