KCB Bank Commits KSh 80 Million to East Africa Golf Tour’s Third Edition

KCB Bank Kenya has committed KSh 80 million to support the third edition of the East Africa Golf Tour, which was launched today. The 30-leg series will cover 16 counties in Kenya and four other East African countries: Rwanda, Tanzania, Burundi, and Uganda. The bank’s investment highlights its commitment to nurturing talent, promoting golf, and boosting regional unity and economic growth.

KCB Group Treasurer, Anthony Mulisa, spoke at the launch, saying, “The East Africa Golf Tour is growing as a platform for amateur development, inclusivity, and regional collaboration. We want to expand the sport and help young golfers improve their skills.”

In Kenya, the tour will take place in counties like Mombasa, Nairobi, Trans Nzoia, Kiambu, Kakamega, and others, with top teams advancing to the grand finale on December 5, 2025. The first event will be held at Royal Nairobi Golf Club on February 1.

The competition will run for a year, featuring amateur events on Saturdays and junior clinics on Sundays. There will also be tournaments for caddies at select golf clubs.

The winning team will receive KSh 1 million for a sustainability project and an opportunity to play at a prestigious golf event in Kenya. KCB is also incorporating environmental conservation efforts, including tree planting and setting up environmentally friendly LPG solutions at the clubs.

Additionally, KCB, in partnership with Mastercard, has launched a Multi Currency Prepaid card. This card offers the highest number of currencies and helps customers manage international transactions cost-effectively.
