The tour forms part of the continued growth of junior golf in Kenya, with the U.S. Kids Golf platform providing age-appropriate competition and creating a structured environment in which young players can gain experience, build confidence and progressively develop their games.
Tournament Director Kailesh Chauhan said the Mombasa Local Fall Tour provides an important platform for junior golfers to develop through regular competition.
“The Mombasa Local Fall Tour gives our juniors the opportunity to compete regularly, understand tournament golf and measure their progress throughout the season. With six events culminating in the Tour Championship, we want to create a competitive but enjoyable environment where every player can continue to develop and gain confidence.”
The season will also provide parents and young golfers at the Coast with greater access to a structured competitive pathway, allowing players to experience tournament golf consistently and track their development over a series of events.
Junior Golf Foundation (JGF) Coast Region Representative Mary Mariga welcomed the return of the tour, highlighting the role of regular competition in strengthening junior golf in the region.
“We are delighted to see the NCBA U.S. Kids Mombasa Local Fall Tour return for another season. The Coast has tremendous potential in junior golf, and regular competitive opportunities are important in helping our young golfers develop both their skills and their confidence. We look forward to seeing the players grow from the opening event at Vipingo Ridge through to the Tour Championship.”
With events spread across Vipingo Ridge, Nyali and Diamonds Leisure Beach & Golf Resort, the Mombasa Local Fall Tour will give junior golfers at the Coast multiple opportunities to compete in different tournament settings while building their experience throughout the season.
