The tournament, now in its third edition, has not only grown in scale but also in impact, reaching over 3,000 participants, and nurturing more than 2,000 junior golfers through its inclusive golf clinics held throughout the year.
This year’s series has traversed the region, stopping in Mombasa, Kiambu, Nakuru, Nyeri, Nandi, Kisii, Nyanza, Kakamega, Laikipia, Machakos, and Trans Nzoia Counties, as well as Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, and Burundi.
Each leg has drawn diverse participants ranging from seasoned golfers to enthusiastic beginners, cementing the tour’s reputation as one of the most vibrant amateur golf circuits in the region.
Speaking ahead of the finale, KCB Group CEO Paul Russo underscored the bank’s commitment to developing sports and empowering communities through golf.
“At KCB, we believe that sport is a powerful driver of social and economic transformation. Through the East Africa Golf Tour, we are fostering a golfing culture that promotes inclusion, youth development, and regional integration.
Our Ksh80 million investment this year is a testament to our belief in the sport’s potential to inspire excellence and build networks that go beyond the greens,” said Russo.
The 2025 series marks a significant milestone in the bank’s journey to expand access to golf across East Africa.
Compared to its inaugural edition, which reached just under 1,500 golfers, the steady rise in participation reflects growing enthusiasm and awareness around the sport, particularly among young players and women.
One of the standout participants this year is Serah Githaiga from Nyeri Golf Club, who was part of the winning team from his club. She attributes her growth in the sport to exposure the tournament fosters.
“The KCB East Africa Golf Tour has been transformative. It is allowed me to meet golfers from different regions, improve my game, and gain confidence.
The clinics have been especially impactful for juniors and women golfers who are now taking up the sport in greater numbers,” said Gitahiga.
Beyond the competition, the series has evolved into a holistic platform, merging sport, sustainability, and community engagement.
The junior clinics have played a key role in nurturing future talent, introducing the game to young boys and girls across counties, while promoting values of discipline, integrity, and focus
