Njoroge secured his Sunshine Tour card directly after winning three Sunshine Development Tour events this season at Thika Greens Golf Resort, Nyali Golf Club, and Vetlab Sports Club. Wafula earned her card for the Sunshine Ladies Tour following an outstanding season in which she made seven out of eight cuts on the Sunshine Development Tour. She is ranked eighteenth on the Order of Merit and is the highest-ranked female player on the Tour. Njoroge said he is looking forward to showcasing his talent on the bigger stage, expressing his gratitude to the Sunshine Development Tour for providing the platform. He added that his achievement would motivate juniors in the region, showing them that there is something to aspire to. “It means a lot to be the first Kenyan to secure a Sunshine Tour card. I am very grateful to the Sunshine Development Tour for giving us this opportunity and I am excited to showcase my talent at the next level. The tour has been very important because right now it is the only way to get to a global tour apart from the Kenya Open. “Getting this card proves that players from this region can move up. For juniors coming up they now see a clear pathway and that there is something big to play for. On the main tour my goal is to keep my card for the full season and try to get into the top ten as many times as possible. If I can get a win, it would be great. I want to gain as much knowledge as I can. I have played there before, and I believe I can do much better than I did. At 22 my long-term goal is to reach the major tours like the PGA Tour, LIV or the Asia Tour,” said Kibugu. For Wafula, earning her Sunshine Ladies Tour card is a dream come true. She also credited the Sunshine Development Tour for giving players the chance to compete at a higher level. “For me to be the first Kenyan woman golfer to get a global tour card through the Sunshine Development Tour is amazing. It has always been my dream to play on a major tour and I was overwhelmed when I received the news. I am grateful to the Sunshine Development Tour because it has given us a chance to play high level competitions here at home and that has opened the door for me to go international. “I hope other young women will see that it is possible to reach international platforms through this pathway. My goal now is to play in all Sunshine Ladies Tour events next season and do my best in each tournament,” said Wafula.
