The Golf Union (KGU) development officer Brian Njoroge will lead a host professional golfers in the KGU Chairman’s Cup slated for May 19-21 at the Kenya Railways Golf Club in Nairobi.
This will be the first time professional golfers are featuring in the annual KGU Chairman’s Cup, which is usually a preserve of amateur golfers.
KGU chairman Anthony Muhoro said the professionals and amateurs competing for the Golfer of the Year (Goty) series will play together in a Pro-Am event.
“We have set aside Sh200,000 as prize money for the professionals in the Chairman’s Cup,” said Muhoro. The professionals participation has been made possible by funding from Sidian Bank, formerly K-Rep, who are bumping in Sh1 million. Muhoro thanked Sidian Bank for the sponsorship and said the funding will witness the best ever Chairman’s Cup ever to have been organised by KGU.
