Over 100 players will converge at the Bujumbura Golf Club in Burundi this Saturday for the KCB East Africa Golf Tour.
The golfers will be seeking a place in the Tour's Grand Finale scheduled for December 6.
The nine-hole golf club will play host to top amateur golfers across the East Africa region.
Bujumbura Golf Club captain Huynen Benjamin said: “The KCB East Africa Golf Tour has played a pivotal role in bolstering the sport in the East African region and empowering thousands of golfers to hone their skills and nurture emerging talent."
"The club is elated to once again partner with the bank for the second year running in this noble initiative that will be instrumental in growing this sport.”
The Burundi leg of the series, which is the first outside Kenya, will see the morning tee get underway at 6:30 am and the afternoon session will start at 12:30 pm at the par 71 golf course.
In Kenya, the tour has so far traversed Mombasa, Nakuru, Kakamega, Eldoret, Nandi, and Kericho counties.
Along the way, the event has also attracted over 800 participants and over 500 juniors through the clinics that run concurrently with the series.
"Our interaction with golfers so far has been commendable and the numbers we are receiving across the different courses are high.
Through the series, we are making an impact by reaching as many people as possible," he went on.
"We want to grow this sport to an elite level and build the next generation of golfers,” KCB Group Director Marketing and Communications Rosalind Gichuru said.
In the Kenyan series, the tour will resume action on May 17 at the Nakuru Golf Course.
