Over 200 top Amateur players from Nanyuki and neighboring Clubs have signed up for the tournament where the top two teams from this leg will secure spots in the tour’s grand finale set for December 5th, 2025, with the venue to be announced at a later date.
Nanyuki Sports Club Captain Michael Mwirigi said they are expecting a huge number of Golfers to turn up for Saturday’s tournament.
“Our course has always been one of the best in the country with wide fairways and slow greens. We have been working so hard to host this tournament and we cannot wait to showcase our rich golfing tradition. I can assure players that the course is ready for action,” said Mwirigi.
Recently at Kericho Golf Course, two teams booked their slots in the tour’s grand finale with Nicholas Korir, Leonard Kiplangat, Munga Marisoi, Benson Magolo, Bill Kalya, Ben Kalya, Judy Chebon and Debra Koske being the latest entrants to the much-awaited event.

KCB Group Director Marketing and Communications Rosalind Gichuru highlighted the tour’s growing influence in the region and the Bank’s role in elevating the game of Golf.
“The KCB East Africa Golf Tour has been instrumental in positioning East Africa as a premier golfing destination. Beyond that, we have also strengthened regional unity, expanded the sport and bolstered socio-economic development. The Nanyuki leg also provides an opportunity for us to interact with golfers from the Mt. Kenya region, giving them a platform to enjoy the game they love most,” noted Gichuru.
The champions of the grand finale will be awarded KShs. 1 million to support a sustainability initiative currently being implemented by their Club and they will also receive sponsorship to participate in a prestigious Golf tournament.
After the Nanyuki leg, the next leg of the KCB East Africa Golf Tour will be held at the historic Karen Country Club on May 31st, 2025.
