YENGOLF has entered into a strategic partnership with WIN Group Management Limited aimed at expanding golf tournaments and enhancing lifestyle experiences linked to the sport in Kenya.
The partnership was officially announced during a press briefing held at YENGOLF’s offices located at Runda Mall in Nairobi. Through the collaboration, WIN Group Management Limited will support YENGOLF in organising tournaments, securing sponsorships, building brand partnerships, and strengthening media engagement.
The two organisations say the alliance is expected to improve the quality and reach of YENGOLF’s golf events while offering better experiences for players, sponsors, and fans.

Celebrating a Major Milestone
The announcement comes as YENGOLF prepares to graduate its 100th group of amateur golfers later this month, marking a significant achievement for the academy.
Over the last eight years, the golf academy has trained hundreds of beginners, including entrepreneurs, professionals, and individuals new to the sport. Through structured training programmes and community activities, the organisation has helped grow a network of amateur golfers while making the game more accessible to a wider audience.
2026 Golf Tournament Schedule
The partnership comes as YENGOLF unveils its 2026 golf tournament calendar, which will feature events at several of Kenya’s well-known golf courses.
Among the highlights is the Entrepreneurs Open Series, which will host four tournaments this year:
● March 27, 2026 – 30th Entrepreneurs Open at Kenya Railway Golf Club
● August 14, 2026 – 31st Entrepreneurs Open at Limuru Country Club
● October 10, 2026 – 32nd Entrepreneurs Open at Vipingo Ridge Golf Resort
● December 12, 2026 – 33rd Entrepreneurs Open at Muthaiga Golf Club
In addition, YENGOLF will collaborate with partners to support charity and corporate golf events at courses such as Royal Nairobi Golf Club, Sigona Golf Club, and Limuru Country Club.
International Business and Golf Delegation
Beyond local tournaments, YENGOLF plans to organise a business and golf delegation to Dubai and Malaysia between June 3 and June 13, 2026.
The initiative will bring together Kenyan entrepreneurs and investors for networking opportunities, trade engagements, and industrial visits. The programme will also involve collaboration with the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE).
Return of the Golf & Grill Series
The partnership will also support the return of the popular Golf & Grill Series, a lifestyle event that blends golf with social networking and entertainment.
The 2026 edition will be held at Migaa Golf Club on April 19, July 12, and September 13. The series has become particularly popular among young professionals and entrepreneurs seeking a more relaxed introduction to golf.
Roles in the Partnership
Under the partnership agreement, YENGOLF will continue to oversee golf training programmes, player recruitment, and relationships with host golf clubs. Meanwhile, WIN Group Management Limited will focus on event production, sponsorship acquisition, and brand collaborations.
Both organisations believe the partnership will contribute to the growth of Kenya’s golf ecosystem while creating new opportunities for business networking within the sport.
