The 9-hole Sea-Link Mombasa golf course will play host to the second leg of the KCB East Africa Golf Tour on Saturday as 100 golfers flex their muscles in the eagerly awaited tourney.
Golfers will brave the lush green as early as 6:30 am for the morning tee action while the afternoon tee is scheduled to kick off at 12:30 pm featuring top amateur golfers from Mombasa and its environs expected to take part at the competition.
Speaking about the event, Mombasa Sports Club Vice-Captain George Mokaya said, “It is such an honor to be part of the KCB Golf series for the second year running. Last year, we had a successful tournament so we expect to replicate the same this year. We have many golfers who have already booked their slots for the weekend’s action. I am looking forward to a fruitful golf action.”
The top two teams from Saturday’s action will automatically book their places in the tour’s grand finale that is slated for December 5, 2025 but the venue for this year’s grand finale will be announced ahead of the event.
Just like last year, the winning team will receive a KShs. 1 million cash reward that will go to a sustainability team that their club is currently undertaking and additionally, they will get an opportunity to participate in a prestigious golf tournament.
KCB Group Director Marketing and Communications Rosalind Gichuru said, “We firmly believe that we are playing a pivotal role in pushing the golf agenda. Our involvement in the sport is aimed at providing a platform for enthusiasts to enjoy themselves while also putting Kenya on the global map as a sporting nation. Mombasa has a growing fan base of golf so it was a no-brainer for us to go back and host our tournament for the second consecutive time.”
KCB’s efforts to expand the sport will see the bank host a juniors’ only golf clinic on Sunday and a tree planting exercise in a bid to strengthen environmental conservation initiatives through the golf series.
The next leg of the KCB East Africa Golf Tour will be held at the Nandi Bears Club on February 15, 2025.
