The event is expected to draw a strong field of local golfers from across the region, all seeking to secure their place among the country’s top amateur performers.

The Kisumu event comes as NCBA continues its support for golf at all levels, with the bank also featuring prominently in the ongoing third leg of the Professional Golfers of Kenya (PGK) Equator Tour at Mt. Kipipiri Golf & Resort in Nyandarua County.

The Mt. Kipipiri tournament, which teed off on Thursday, 14 August, has brought together 43 elite corporate-sponsored professionals competing over four days for critical tour ranking points.

The PGK Equator Tour began with its debut at Ruiru Sports Club before moving to Limuru Country Club for the second leg, where Greg Snow claimed victory with a total score of 276 (-12).

Speaking ahead of the Kisumu and Mt. Kipipiri events, NCBA Group Managing Director John Gachora said the bank’s involvement in both amateur and professional golf reflects its long-term investment in Kenyan sporting talent.

“Our commitment to golf goes beyond sponsorship. It’s about building platforms for players to grow and compete at every stage, from club level to elite professional tours.

Through the NCBA Golf Series and our support for the Equator Tour, we are giving golfers the opportunities, exposure and tools they need to reach their full potential,” he said.
