This will be the fifth leg of the Sunshine Development Tour – East Africa Swing, with the season opener at Ruiru attracting a strong field of 63 players.

Tournament Director David Kihara said the strength of the field, which includes seasoned campaigners such as Dismas Indiza, John Lejirma, Greg Snow, Mohit Mediratta, Michael Karanga and David Wakhu, among others, as well as the history of the Ruiru leg, should make for a competitive tournament.

“Ruiru has consistently delivered competitive golf, and we are expecting another exciting contest this year. We have a strong field bringing together experienced professionals, emerging players and amateurs from across the region, which should make for a very competitive three days. The return of players such as Dismas Indiza and John Lejirma also adds an interesting dimension given what happened here last year. We look forward to welcoming the players and fans to Ruiru and seeing who will emerge as this year’s champion,” said Kihara (via Sunshine Development Tour – East Africa Swing).

The tournament forms part of the Sunshine Development Tour’s broader pathway for golfers seeking to progress to higher levels of professional golf, with players competing for ranking points and opportunities to advance towards the Sunshine Tour.
