The Junior Golf Foundation (JGF) unveils the Provisional National Junior Golf Squad for the 2025/26 season comprising 12 talented boys and 10 outstanding girls.
The squad members were selected based on their performance in the national junior tournaments that are held across the country and their ranking in the JGF Order of Merit.
These rising stars represent the next generation of Kenya’s Golfing elite and will undergo training, development, and evaluation ahead of upcoming Regional and International competitions at the Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club, and course practice in various Golf clubs.
The boys’ squad features top performers such as Tsevi Soni (16), Junaid Manji (17), Justin Ngeera (14), Kayden Wissanji (15) Nathan Mwangi, Jelani Kihanya (16), Ronan Patel (15), Maahir Patel (15), Mwathi Gicheru (14), Yuvraj Rajput (15), Aarush Vara (16) and Kimani Gicheru (17).
The girls’ lineup includes Bianca Ngecu (16), Audrey Gachora (15), Kanana Muthomi (13), Belinda Wanjiru (15), Hazel Kuria (17), Cherono Kipkorir (15), Navya Nagda (16), Nyawira Macharia (12), Maryam Mwakitawa (17) and Brianna Ngecu (13).
The full list reflects a broad spread of talent across various age groups, with the youngest members being just 12 years old, a clear sign of the foundation’s commitment to early talent development and long-term sustainability in junior Golf.
The members not only form part of junior squads but also contribute to the senior National Golf squads for the Kenya Golf Union (KGU) and the Kenya Ladies Golf Union (KLGU).
JGF President Vincent Mukiri remarked, “The Junior Golf Foundation is very keen on developing our juniors. The national provisional squad training is part of our development initiatives including the training happening at the regions. This squad consists of our best performing juniors who are based in Kenya and abroad, this helps us to have a ready pool of elite juniors. With more juniors than ever joining the sport, our goal is to develop, grow, and open more doors for them locally and internationally. This is not just about competitions but about growing the game and giving every child with talent a
chance to shine. This provisional list will continue to evolve as players’ progress through training camps and performance assessments.”
The JGF extends its gratitude to sponsors including the title Sponsor NCBA Bank, Windsor Golf Hotel & Country Club, parents, coaches, and all partners who support the growth working tirelessly to grow junior golf in Kenya.
JGF is a project of the KGU and the KLGU responsible for Growth and development of the game of Golf among Junior Golfers of 21 years and below.
