Speaking ahead of the finale, NCBA Group Managing Director John Gachora said: “The Grand Finale marks the culmination of a very successful series this year that has been bigger and better, transversing the region following the inclusion of Rwanda. We have made an effort to be at most clubs this year, whether through a main qualifier, a club night, or a monthly mug.

As we celebrate the fifth season, we are proud of the immense impact the series has had not just on the golfers but also on everyone else involved. We have made sure that everything at Muthaiga is in check to ensure we have a successful day as well. We remain committed to supporting golf in Kenya, and we look forward to hosting the golfers on Friday and experiencing a skillful round of golf.”
