More than 270 golfers from across the country are gearing up for an exciting showdown this weekend at the Annual Legendary Golf Tournament, hosted at the renowned Ruiru Sports Club. The lush par-73 course, which has increasingly become a hub for high-profile corporate and sporting events, will once again showcase its world-class facilities and vibrant atmosphere.
The Annual Legendary Golf Tournament, organised by the Legendary Golfers group, is known for attracting top talent and creating a festive environment that combines competition with entertainment. This year’s edition promises not only stiff competition on the 18-hole course but also a lively prize-giving ceremony featuring live band performances, making it a memorable day for both players and guests.
Club Captain Justus Mathenge expressed delight at hosting yet another edition, highlighting the collaboration with corporate partners that has elevated the event’s prestige. With backing from First Assurance, Kingdom Bank, and other sponsors, the tournament continues to solidify its place on Kenya’s golfing calendar. Tee-off begins at 6:40 am for the morning session, while the afternoon groups will take to the course starting at 10:50 am.
Defending champion James Njogu, a founder of the Legendary Golfers, headlines the competition as he seeks to retain his crown. Njogu, confident in his current form, is expected to face fierce opposition from a strong field. Among the contenders is Grace Miano, fresh from her victory at the September Pendant Golf event, where she delivered a superb net score of 70. With Ruiru as her training ground, Miano is determined to use her home advantage to full effect and build on her recent success.
Other notable names include big-hitting single handicapper John Mburu and the talented Nathaniel Nguithi, both of whom are eager to leave a lasting impression in this year’s edition. Their presence adds further depth to a competitive field that promises thrilling battles from the first tee to the final green.
Beyond the sport, the tournament reflects Ruiru Sports Club’s growing reputation as a premier venue for top-tier corporate and leisure events. Earlier in the year, the club successfully hosted flagship activities for major companies, cementing its place as a leading destination along Thika Road.
With the course in prime condition, attractive prizes on offer, and a festival-like atmosphere awaiting, the Annual Legendary Golf Tournament at Ruiru Sports Club is set to deliver another unforgettable experience for players and fans alike.
