Organisers promise best Nigeria Cup

As preparations for the 2024 Nigeria Cup golf tournament gather momentum, the organizers of this year’s edition have promised a fun-filled week-long competition for sponsors and participants.

Speaking at a pre-event press briefing on Wednesday, Chairman of, 2024 Nigeria Cup Organising Committee, George Etomi, said the spirit of harmony through recreation, which the club is known for, will be the focus of this year’s competition, adding that every member of the Ikoyi Club community will take part in this year’s edition.

According to him, the 2024 Nigeria Cup will officially kick off on Saturday with kid golfers taking turns on the course, while Sunday, October 22nd, has been reserved for a segment of the competition tagged ‘Golf for Good Event’.

On Monday, Caddies will have their way on the golf course before Lady Golfers will have their way on Tuesday. A special Nigeria Cup Kitty has been fixed for Wednesday, September 25th.

A whopping N1m is expected to be won by the best player in the professional category, while the second-placed professional golfer will go home with N750, 000.00. The sum of N500, 000.00 is up for grabs by the second runner-up in the professional category.

On Thursday, the organising committee will host sponsors, guests, and veteran golfers. Saturday, September 28th, is the grand finale and the day a new Nigeria Cup winner will be crowned.

Etomi, who said all necessary arrangements were made to make sure things went as planned, thanked sponsors for their support for the Nigeria Cup. Mike Makinde, who shot 67-net in last year’s edition, is the tournament defending champion.
