The 2024 NCBA Golf Series returns as the ‘Home of Golf’— Muthaiga Golf Club hosts the sixth leg this weekend.
The series returns after a brief hiatus caused by the recent heavy rains that affected various golf courses in the country.
Over 200 golfers are expected to grace the event at Muthaiga course, which is renowned for its challenging par-71 layout.
The golfers will be vying for coveted slots to compete in the series' Grand Finale later in the year.
Muthaiga Club captain, Bo Ciera, said: “We are delighted as Muthaiga Golf Club to be hosting the NCBA Golf Series once again. NCBA has been a key partner of the club for a long time and we are delighted they have given us this opportunity to be part of the series.”
He added: “Our course is in impeccable condition, ready to challenge and inspire golfers of all levels and with the support of our partner NCBA and the enthusiasm of our players, I am confident the event will be a memorable one,” he added.
NCBA Group Managing Director, John Gachora, said: "As we return to Muthaiga for the next leg of the NCBA Golf Series, I am thrilled to witness the passion and skill of our golfers on display. This tournament not only showcases the best of Kenyan golf but also embodies our commitment to supporting the growth and development of the sport in our community."
The tournament will provide an opportunity for six standout performers to secure their slots at the 2024 NCBA Golf Series' Grand Finale.
These slots will be awarded to the Division 1 male and female winners, Division 2 male and female winners, the overall winner of Division 3 and the top performer in the Junior category.
At the same time, the NCBA U.S. Kids Golf Fall Local Tour tournament continues this weekend at the same venue with at least 186 junior golfers aged between 5 and 18 years old set to participate.
