The tournament arrives just days after a thrilling VetLab leg, where several Kenyan golfers delivered strong performances, and secured valuable world ranking and Safari Tour Order of Merit points, in their quest for qualification to the 2026 Magical Kenya Open.
With 88 professional and elite amateur golfers from across Africa expected in Limuru, the field promises intense competition and high-quality golf.
Wangai, the chairman of the Professional Golfers of Kenya, who finished runner-up at VetLab says he feels mentally and technically ready for the demands of Limuru’s layout.
“I’m feeling like I am in good control of my game now and I’m looking forward to playing even better at Limuru. The course resembles my home club, Sigona, in terms of layout and weather.
Because of that, I am really working on accuracy off the tee, placing the ball exactly where it should be, because that’s what Limuru demands," Wangai offered.
He added that his driving and putting have given him the most confidence heading into the event.
“Driving and putting are keeping me going; they’re the strongest part of my game at the moment.
The Tour gives us a platform to play more, to improve, and to earn opportunities to progress to the Sunshine Tour and even bigger tours like the DP World Tour," he added.
Reflecting on lessons learned from the VetLab event, Wangai highlighted the mental side of competition.
“The main lesson for me was staying in the moment, even when under pressure and being patient throughout the round," he offered.
