The quartet landed Ksh3 million sponsorship from Safaricom through the Professional Golfers Association of Kenya (PGK) programme, under a three-year agreement that offers not just financial support but a long-term development framework.
The sponsorship is part of Safaricom’s commitment to growing local talent and expanding opportunities for youth in sports.
“Our goal is to create a sustainable pathway for aspiring golfers in Kenya, one that inspires, empowers, and equips them to compete at the highest level,” said Safaricom CEO Dr. Peter Ndegwa.
The partnership is anchored on PGK’s Player Development Plan (PDP), a structured mentorship and training framework aimed at equipping emerging professional golfers with the skills, discipline and exposure needed to thrive in competitive golf.
Through the PDP, selected players will benefit from consistent support, access to professional circuits and a clear growth trajectory within the sport.
“It is exciting to be part of the Safaricom team. We are a group of four young and promising individuals who have already made history and are destined to achieve even more, both in Kenya and beyond.
All players in our team are exceptional players and together, we are going to do great things to make our fans and sponsor proud.
This programme is incredibly important to us as professional golfers in Kenya. It will give us the opportunity to sharpen our skills and compete and shine not just here in Kenya but even on a global stage,” said Kibugu.
The selected players will receive tailored mentorship and regular performance assessments aimed at fostering their ongoing development and competitiveness in the professional arena.
This investment underscores Safaricom’s commitment to nurturing Kenyan talent and youth initiatives across various fields, aligning perfectly with its mission of Transforming Lives.
