KCB Bank Uganda has launched the second edition of the KCB East Africa Golf Tournament, scheduled to tee off on 27 June 2026 at the Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort & Spa.
Organized in partnership with ICEA LION Insurance, Kenya Airways, CFAO, and Ruby Hospital, the tournament aims to deliver a premier regional golfing experience. This year’s event, themed “Roar on the Green,” will attract more than 180 players from Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The tournament is open to golfers of all ages who hold a valid handicap and are registered with a CDH ID. Participants will compete in four-ball teams, where the highest score on each hole counts toward the team total, blending individual skill with collaborative team play. The competition will use the Stableford format, a points-based system that rewards consistent and strategic play.
Participation in the tournament is free, excluding caddie fees. Eligible participants will not be required to purchase any products or make any payments to take part in the competition.
The corporate partners play a vital role in delivering the tournament and enhancing the golfers’ experience. As the Official Insurance Partner, ICEA LION Insurance will showcase its Clubman’s Insurance, a specialized cover designed for golfers. The policy provides protection of up to UGX 4 million against the loss or damage of golfing equipment and personal effects while playing, practicing, or in transit. It also covers third-party property damage incurred during play.
Kenya Airways, the Official Airline Partner, will award the winning four-ball team with air tickets, while CFAO is offering an exclusive hole-in-one prize: a Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series. Ruby Hospital joins the tournament as the wellness partner.
Speaking during the launch, Noela Byuma, Head of Marketing and Communications at KCB Bank Uganda, said:
“The ‘Roar on the Green’ theme reflects the confidence and determination required to succeed both on the course and in business. The KCB East Africa Golf Tour provides a unique platform for building relationships, fostering meaningful connections, and bringing together people from diverse backgrounds. We are not only promoting sport and community but are also intentionally investing in a greener and more sustainable future through our tree-planting initiatives. This tournament embodies the values of excellence, sustainability, and shared prosperity.”
Tournament Coordinator Paul Kaheru noted that the event provides a premier platform for showcasing regional pride and endurance, while Golf Director Theodor van Rooyen emphasized that the competition highlights the finest elements of precision and teamwork as Uganda’s top qualifiers prepare for the grand finale in Nairobi.
Building on the success of its inaugural edition, the tournament returns with a strong legacy of competitive excellence and community impact. At last year’s event, Team On the Money, comprising Gloria Nanyonga, Dipak Patel, Nic Snyman, and Mathew Nviiri, secured the overall team title with an impressive 111 Stableford points. Enoch Nuwagaba (39 points) and Florence Namara (32 points) topped the men’s and ladies’ individual categories, respectively.
The tournament’s commitment to social and environmental responsibility remains central to its identity. Alongside the sporting action, KCB Bank Uganda is advancing its Go Green Campaign. Following the planting of 300 trees at Serena Kigo, the bank continues to work toward its broader environmental target of planting 15,000 trees nationwide to support conservation efforts.
The tournament action on 27 June will conclude at the 19th Hole, which will host an elegant All-White Party for golfers, partners, and invited guests.
