Kenya Open shuts doors on fans

Posted on by <a href="https://www.sportsnews.africa/byline/elvince-joshua-sports-africa/" rel="tag">ELVINCE JOSHUA - SPORTS AFRICA</a>
Kenya Open shuts doors on fans

The 2021 Magical Kenya Open Golf Championship will be held behind closed doors which is a big setback in the campaign to promote Kenya as a top golfing destination.

The annual event has been key in raising Kenya’s profile to the international audience as a preferred golfing destination.

Kenya was voted Africa’s best golfing destination at the 7th Annual World Golf Awards Gala held in Dubai last year.

The East African nation beat South Africa, Egypt and Morocco in the awards that recognizes and rewards excellence in golf tourism, golf courses and golf destinations.

The event which was elevated to the elite European Tour in 2019 leverages on the wide television coverage that provides an opportunity to showcase the destination to Kenya’s key source markets.

But after the postponement following the outbreak of Covid-19 last March, Kenya Open will, for the first time, close doors to fans even as it remains to be seen how itwill play out on the final day, considering that the Presidents usually grace the closing ceremony.

Kenya is currently leveraging on the new found status to revise the tourism sector hit hard by the pandemic.

This is part of the campaign undertaken by Kenya Tourism Board that also taps on local athletes such as World marathon record holder Eliud Kipchoge to promote the tourism industry.

Kipchoge was named the Magical Kenya ambassador last year.

“As the destination marketing agency, our role is to inspire the world to visit Kenya, and as such we remain committed to supporting local and international sports events such as the Safari Tour and the Magical Kenya Open Championship among others that provide exposure to the destination,” the board said.

The road to Kenya Open teed off with the Safari Tour that serves as preparation for the Magical Kenya Open Golf Championships as players who participate in the tournament get to be selected from the series.

The Safari Tour golf tournament is currently ongoing at Nyali Golf Club in Mombasa with upcoming events set to be held at Muthaiga Golf Club and Karen Country Club in Nairobi.

The other Safari Tour tournaments in the series were held at The Great Rift Valley Lodge, Vet Lab Sports Club, Royal Nairobi Golf Club and Sigona Golf Club.

Betty Radier, the KTB Chief Executive Officer (CEO) stated their commitment to support golf in the country as it provides an opportunity to showcase Kenya as a golf destination adding that such events will be crucial in showcasing the destination and creating confidence to potential visitors going forward.

“It is sad that Covid-19 robbed us the opportunities for showcasing the destination in 2020 which was scheduled to host major sporting events in the country. These are the kind of opportunities that play a lead role in bringing people to the destination and attract eyeballs. We are however grateful that we able to have the Safari tour this year which will culminate into the Magical Kenya Open.

The championship is scheduled to run between March 18 and 21, 2021.

Kenya named best golf destination in Africa

Kenya named best golf destination in Africa
Kenya is the best golfing destination in Africa.

The East Africa nation, host of the prestigious Magical Kenya Open Golf Championship, a European Tour, beat South Africa, Egypt and Morocco for the award held during the 7th Annual World Golf Awards Gala Ceremony held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

At the same time, Karen Country Club, venue of the Magical Kenya Open, was also celebrated as Kenya’s best golf course, while the Great Rift Valley Country Lodge and Golf Resort won the award for Kenya’s best golf resort

The World Golf Awards which was founded in 2014 recognizes and rewards excellence in golf tourism, courses and golf destinations.

The Kenya Tourism Board CEO Betty Radier believes that the award is proof of the strides that Kenya has made in the development of golf over the years.

“It is encouraging that Kenya has been able to develop golfing and now the entire world knows us as the best destination in Africa. We have indeed made incredible strides and we can only get better. We aim to be the best in the world now that we have conquered Africa,” she said.

The Kenya Tourism Board has previously sponsored golf events and is the activating agency of the Magical Kenya Open Golf Championships which is part of the elite European Tour.

This key event is held annually and preceded by the local Safari Golf Tour which allows professional players and amateurs an opportunity to prepare for their participation at the Magical Kenya Open.

The Magical Kenya Open has attracted top international golfers from Europe and other parts of the world.

Kenya is also home to the only PGA course in the region, Vipingo Ridge, the traditional  host of the Magical Kenya Ladies Open for the last two years.

Other top winners in the awards include Australia which scooped the World’s Best Golf Destination award with the World’s Best Golf Course going to Georgia’s Augusta National Golf Club. South Africa’s Pinnacle Point Golf Course scooped Africa’s Best Golf Course.

2020 Magical Kenya Open championship off

Posted on by <a href="https://www.sportsnews.africa/byline/elvince-joshua-sports-africa/" rel="tag">ELVINCE JOSHUA - SPORTS AFRICA</a>
2020 Magical Kenya Open championship off

The annual European Tour Magical Kenya Open Golf Championship has been cancelled.

The Kenya Golf Limited on Thursday made the unfortunate decision to call off the event that was penciled to run between November 12 to 15 at the Karen Country Club in Nairobi.

The tournament that is traditionally held in March had initially been pushed back seven months following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Kenyan government has suspended all sporting activities besides mass gathering.

The decision to cancel the tourney was arrived after a consultation between the Kenya Open Golf Limited and the European Tour with the current global health concern being cited as the major reason.

The last time the event failed to take place was way back in 2003 and this cancellation is now the third time that the 53- year-old championship has been cancelled.

The first time it did not feature in the Golf calendar was in 1976 due to lack of funds.

Kenya Open was promoted to the European Tour status last year.

With the cancellation, Italian Guido Migliozzi, who is the defending champion will hold the record for two years before if it is finally held in Match 2021.

“We are continually grateful for the close relationship that we enjoy with the European Tour. By sharing insights with us on the ever-changing landscape of the international golf tournaments, we were able to make an informed decision to once again postpone the Magical Kenya Open to a more suitable time next year,” Peter Kanyago, the chairman of Kenya Open Golf Limited said.

The tourney has a prize purse of €1,000,000.

A total of 144 players were expected to grace the event.

Posted on by <a href="https://www.sportsnews.africa/byline/elvince-joshua-sports-africa/" rel="tag">ELVINCE JOSHUA - SPORTS AFRICA</a>
Caroline Kiengo wins Karen Country Club Johnnie Walker tournament

The Karen Country Club defied the Kenyan government call to ban meetings and gatherings as a precautionary measure being put in place to help curb the spread of the coronavirus and hosted the Johnnie Walker tournament on Saturday.

Several sports federations including athletics, hockey, volleyball, rugby and even football have since halted their activities but not golf.

Despite the Kenya Golf Limited pushing back the 2020 Magical Kenya Open Championship by 30 days, for fear of the deadly pandemic, the local circuits are running as usual. 

On Saturday, the Karen Country Club hosted 221 golfers for a tournament in total defiance to the government’s call for ‘citizens’ safety first’.

Home player Karen Caroline Kiengo returned a score of 43 points, to win the overall title at the Johnnie Walker tournament. 

Playing off handicap 23, Caroline returned a total of seven pars, eight bogeys, and two triple bogeys at the par four, 4th and par three 16th on her way ahead of club compatriots Edward Mugo and Jeremy Ngunze who finished with 41 and 40 points respectively.

For her efforts, Caroline took home a bottle of 18-year-old Johnnie Walker.

Edward Mugo and Jeremy Ngunze took second and third places respectively that were also rewarded with a bottle of whiskey.

Limuru’s Macharia returned a score of 39 points to take the guest’s prize, with Carl Wambisi taking the runner up prize with 36 points.

Karin Middleton and Vincent Rague picked up the front and back nine awards. Douglas Duncanson took the staff prize with a score of 31 points.

 The brand also sponsored the second season of Safari Tour golf series as well as Kenya’s top two Golfers, Dismas Indiza and Greg Snow.” He added.

Other winners included Tom Simba who beat Ken Kubasu on count back to finish in fourth, with Kubasu settling for fifth place and a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black label.

Magical Kenya Open Championship called off due coronavirus fears

Magical Kenya Open Championship called off due coronavirus fears

The 2020 edition of the Magical Kenya Open Golf Championship has been called off.

The annual championship that was set to tee off on March 12 – 15 has been put on hold in line with the Kenyan government directive banning meetings and conferences as a precautionary measure to avert any possible spread of the deadly Coronavirus.

Kenya is yet to report any case of the deadly bug that has reportedly killed close to 4,000 people globally.

“Kenya Open Golf Limited has received the Government of Kenya’s decision to postpone all conferences and meetings of an international nature in Kenya for the next 30 days, including the 2020 Magical Kenya Open, due to the ongoing global threat from the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19),” the organizers said Friday.

Kenya Open Golf Limited chairman Peter Kanyago has so far conveyed the Government of Kenya’s decision to the European Tour who are expected to announce new dates for the championship that gained (European) tour status last year.

“They (European Tour) have assured us of their full support and we will be announcing new dates for the championship in due course,” said Kanyago.

The tour had attracted over 200 entries where 144 European tour players were expected to take part in the championship with a total prize money of one million euros.

Among the professional players who were expected at the champions are Chinese duo of Haoton Li, who won the Omega Dubai Desert Classic tournament two years ago, and his compatriot Ashun Wu, a three time European Tour champion.

This is not the first major championship to have been affected by the virus that originated from China.

Other sporting events that has been affected by the epidemic so far, including the two legs of the HSBC World Rugby Series, the Japanese, Chinese as well as the North Korean leagues and some matches in the Italian Serie A.

The Kenya’s women beach volleyball team also failed to travel to Nigeria for the Olympics Qualifier after the government refused to fund them as a precautionary measure.

Last week, the Ministry of Sports released a statement warning team against non-essential travel to countries where the virus has been reported.

Nigeria is one of the few African countries that have reported Covid-19 cases so far. Others are Senegal, Algeria, Cameroon, Egypt and South Africa.

Bumper entry: Over 50 European players locked out of Magical Kenya Open

About 50 European golfers are set to miss the 2020 Magical Kenya Open Golf Championship with the organizers reporting oversubscription.

The European Tour event is set to be held in Nairobi for the second year running between March 12-15 at the Karen Country Club.  

Patrick Obath, the tournament director, revealed Monday that the annual championship has received over 200 entries from European tour players with only 144 set to be picked.

“The field this year will remain at 144 players. We have, however, seen a significant increase in interest from the European Tour players to come play at the Magical Kenya Open, with over 200 entries received,” Obath said.

More cash as EA Golf Safari Tour expands to Rwanda, Tanzania

More cash as EA Golf Safari Tour expands to Rwanda, Tanzania

The second edition of the East Africa Golf Safari Tour is expected to expand to Rwanda and Tanzania as the organizer announced an increase in the prize money by at least $5,000 for the least paying leg.

The 11-series event that culminated this week at the Karen County Golf Club in Nairobi, will be expanded by at least four series to be staged in Tanzania and Rwanda, the Kenya Open Golf Limited (KOGL), the owners and organizers of the tour announced Wednesday.

“As we prepare the calendar next year, several things are going to happen; we will increase from 11 to 15/16 events during the course of the year. Next season, we will certainly expand to Rwanda and Tanzania,” said the Tournament Director Patrick Obath.

The KOGL also announced a $5,000 increase in minimum prize purse for individual events of the tour that will see the lowest paying leg cough out $15,000 from next season.

According to Obath, at least half of the tournament series will offer total prize money of between $30,000 and $40,000 from next season, a move geared at enticing players from the region playing in established tours such as the Sunshine Tour.

 “For next year, we are upping the prize money to $15,000 as a base so any event that wants to be part of the Safari Tour has to have a minimum prize kitty. This will begin to attract players from other tours both in Africa and beyond to come and play here. This will heighten competition further and we hope will sharpen the play of the Kenyan golf professionals.

“We are then going to share our calendar with Nigeria and the Sunshine Tour so that we don’t have major events clashing and ensure that each event has a clear weekend so that we can attract the right kind of people.”

 The Safari Golf Tour, which was launched in 2018 as a preparation pad for local and regional professional players heading into the Kenya Open Golf Championship, has seen 18 professional events being held in Kenya and Uganda over the two seasons. 

As part of the expansion plans, KOGL sees the tour growing to become the region’s biggest golf opportunity.

 “In time also, we expect to attract players from Ethiopia, the Indian Ocean Islands, the DRC and those other places and we see the Safari Golf Tour placing itself as a premiere event for the middle belt in Africa,” said Obath.

The event was expanded to Uganda to 11 Series tour, up from seven in the previous season.

 “Initially when we went into Uganda, we only thought that it was going to be one event but when they saw the opportunity, they decided to add more – which was a quiet way of saying that they needed more events in Uganda so that the Ugandans can get more points to qualify into the Kenya Open.”
