KCB Bank Kenya has announced a commitment of KShs. 80 million to support the third edition of the East Africa Golf Tour.
The 30-leg series will span 16 counties across Kenya and extend to four other East African countries: Rwanda, Tanzania, Burundi, and Uganda. This initiative underscores KCB’s dedication to nurturing talent, fostering regional integration, and using golf as a catalyst for social and economic growth.
Speaking during the launch, KCB Group Treasurer, Anthony Mulisa, highlighted the significance of the tour, stating, “The East Africa Golf Tour continues to grow as a platform for amateur development, inclusivity, and regional collaboration. Our objective is to expand the sport and provide budding golfers with opportunities to develop their skills in line with our brand purpose ‘For People. For Better.’”
In Kenya, the tour will visit Mombasa, Nairobi, Trans Nzoia, Kiambu, Kakamega, Uasin Gishu, Nyeri, Kericho, Machakos, Kisumu, Kisii, Laikipia, and Nandi Counties. The top teams from these counties will advance to the grand finale scheduled for December 5, 2025.
The year-long competition will feature amateur events every Saturday and junior clinics on Sundays. Additionally, tournaments for caddies will be held at select golf clubs, with winning teams earning KShs. 1 million each for sustainability projects of their choice.
KCB Bank is also leveraging this platform to advance its sustainability agenda by incorporating environmental conservation efforts. These initiatives include tree planting exercises across participating golf clubs and the promotion of environmentally friendly LPG solutions.
“Last year, we partnered with Africa Collect Textiles (ACT) to repurpose gently used clothing into new products,” Mulisa noted. “We aim to continue collaborating with like-minded organizations to drive the transition to a low-carbon society by 2050, while leveraging green growth opportunities to grow the economy.”
In addition, KCB has partnered with Mastercard to unveil the Multi-Currency Prepaid Card, which offers the highest number of currencies available on a single card. This innovative product addresses the diverse needs of customers, providing a cost-effective solution for managing international transactions.
