Elite Golfers Battle for Glory
Regional top lady golfers will compete for honors at the KLGU Open, hosted for the first time at the 18-hole Par 73 Ruiru Sports Club in Kiambu County. The three-day event will take place from Friday, April 4, to Sunday, April 6.
This prestigious tournament, organized by the Kenya Ladies Golf Union (KLGU), introduces a thrilling new format. Alongside the 54-hole World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) tournament, a 36-hole subsidiary event will offer more competitive play opportunities. As a result, more golfers will get the chance to test their skills in a high-stakes environment.
Hosting the KLGU Open for the first time marks a milestone for Ruiru Sports Club. This achievement highlights the club’s growth and the rising prominence of its ladies’ section.

Lady Captain Rodah Mukami assured players that they will compete on a well-prepared course. “The course is in top shape, so players will enjoy a fantastic tournament. Since this is Ruiru’s first time hosting, we want to make it a truly memorable event,” she said.
The subsidiary event will expand participation, allowing more golfers to experience the intensity and prestige of the KLGU Open. Consequently, the tournament is expected to attract both seasoned players and rising stars.
Top Contenders Set for a Fierce Showdown
Among the confirmed participants is Njoro Golf Club’s Mercy Nyanchama, the reigning Golfer of the Year (GOTY) champion for three consecutive years.
“I’m excited to play at Ruiru. Not only is this event a great opportunity to compete, but it also allows me to enjoy the sport and connect with fellow golfers,” said Nyanchama.
