The Sunshine Tour continues to dominate the African golf calendar, with the South African Open delivering unforgettable moments every year. This season’s edition saw local hero Christiaan Madden claim a dramatic playoff win, sparking huge excitement among fans. Meanwhile, the Kenya Open is gaining traction as more international players join the field, raising the competition level and putting Kenyan golf on the map.
Watch out for young talents like Ghana’s Kwame Mensah, who just broke the 70‑stroke barrier at the West African Golf Classic. His carefree swing and steady putting are turning heads and attracting sponsors. In Nigeria, former footballer turned golfer Chidi Okonkwo is using his platform to promote junior golf programs, helping kids from Lagos get access to equipment and coaching.
Women’s golf is also gaining momentum. The African Women’s Golf Tour hosted its first major event in Tanzania, showcasing players like South Africa’s Zanele Nkosi, who finished on the podium with a flawless short game. These successes are inspiring more girls to pick up a club and aim for professional careers.
