The tournament also continues to demonstrate the importance of the Corporate League partnership model, with several leading professionals proudly representing sponsoring brands throughout the event.

Speaking after the tournament, officials from the Professional Golfers of Kenya (PGK) thanked all sponsors and partners including NCBA, Visa, Safaricom, Britam, Kenya Airways, Johnnie Walker, Betika, and Computech for their continued support and commitment toward the success of the tour.

“The continued support from our sponsors and partners has played a major role in creating competitive opportunities for our professionals and elevating the standard of the game in Kenya. We sincerely appreciate their commitment to the PGK Equator Tour and to the development of professional golf,” said PGK Chairman C J Wangai.

“The momentum continues! Following Sammy Chege’s brilliant victory today, our team has firmly sustained their incredible form into the current season, already securing back-to-back wins after finishing at the top of the corporate standings last year.

 

We are truly pleased to see the impact this series is having on the players, shaping them and preparing them to compete at the highest level on global stages such as the Magical Kenya Open. We are incredibly proud of their continued success and remain committed to backing the four golfers under the Safaricom Corporate team, Samuel Chege Njoroge, Mohit Mediratta, Mutahi Kibugu, and Mathew Wahome as they build on their experience, drive forward, and rise to even higher levels of competition.” Said Nazreen Wangari, Safaricom Representative
