Mwige added that a further Ksh1 million will be shared by top three ranked Kenyan players and top three ranked African players at the end of the tournament.

“The Kenya Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat is sponsoring Kenyan professional golf players three regional and four amateurs as well as two junior players who will participate in the Magical Kenya Open Golf Tournament,” Mwige underscored while interacting with the golfers at Nairobi’s Golf Park.

He added, “As Vision 2030 our social pillar is supporting sports especially golf because these players are our real African Shujaa, we are happy with the sponsorship we have shown towards the players.
