The winning Safaricom team was represented by Samuel Chege, Mutahi Kibugu, Mohit Mediratta, and Mathew Wahome, combining consistent performances across the season to secure first place. Kenya Airways finished second, followed by Johnnie Walker in third, with NCBA, Visa, and Britam completing the final corporate standings.

The closing ceremony was graced by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Sports, Mr. Elijah Mwangi, who reaffirmed the Government of Kenya’s commitment to supporting professional golfers and strengthening structured pathways that enable Kenyan talent to compete at the highest levels. He commended the Professional Golfers of Kenya (PGK) for delivering a successful national tour that promotes excellence, discipline, and athlete development.

A key highlight of the ceremony was the announcement of the professional golfers who will represent Kenya at the Magical Kenya Open, scheduled for February at Karen Country Club. The selected team was drawn from the Top 15 players on the PGK Equator Tour Order of Merit, further underscoring the tour’s role as the official qualifying pathway to Kenya’s premier international golf event.

The 2025 PGK Equator Tour, launched in July at Ruiru Sports Club, traversed leading golf courses across the country before culminating in a successful grand finale at Royal Nairobi Golf Club.
