Lead image for 42 golfers face off for glory at PGK Nakuru tour.
At least 42 players will be competing for glory when the 2026 Professional Golfers of Kenya (PGK) Equator Tour makes its sixth stop at the par-73 Nakuru Golf Club course this weekend.
The four-round event begins today, with eyes on the PGK Equator Tour Order of Merit. Every tournament plays a crucial role in shaping the season standings. The ultimate goal for the players is to qualify for the 2027 Magical Kenya Open.
This event comes just two weeks after the fifth leg of the tour at Ruiru Sports Club, where David Wakhu of Golf Park claimed his first victory.
Samuel Njoroge, of Thika Sports Club, is leading the Order of Merit after winning the second leg at his home club in May.
He also finished in the top 10 in the other events. He has been in good form. In addition to his victory in the Equator Tour at Thika, Njoroge also secured his first win in Kenya’s other professional tour, the Sunshine Development Tour East Africa Swing, at the Nyali Golf and Country Club on July 9.
Njoroge leads the Equator Tour, the official pathway to the Magical Kenya Open, with 2,852 points. He said he aims to win three more events before the end of the season to emerge the overall winner. He finished second in the 2025 season.
“Winning three more events will make me the tour champion,” he said.
He is followed by Greg Snow of Muthaiga Golf Club on 2,320 points, while veteran golfer Dismas Indiza of Kakamega is third (2,290). Others in the top ten are Mohit Mediratta (2,050), David Wakhu (1,800), John Lejirmah (1,735), Michael Karanga (1,660), Mutahi Kibugu (1,507), Njoroge Kibugu (1,490) and Jastas Madoya (1,217).
