Greg Snow Leads the Equator Tour Order of Merit as the Series Reaches Midway Mark

The Equator Tour, Kenya’s premier professional golf series organized by the Professional Golfers
of Kenya (PGK), has reached its halfway stage after six thrilling events, with Greg Snow
emerging as the standout performer of the season so far.

Snow, who has participated in five events, has already claimed three victories and consistently
finished in the top ten, propelling him to the top of the Equator Tour Order of Merit. He leads
ahead of second-placed Samuel Chege, with the evergreen Dismas Indiza mounting a strong
challenge in third place.

Daniel Nduva, winner of the inaugural event at Ruiru, and the talented Kibugu brothers, Njoroge
and Mutahi, complete the top six. Njoroge Kibugu, who has twice finished runner-up to Snow at
Limuru and Mt. Kipipiri, remains in pursuit of his maiden Equator Tour title.

With the Equator Tour serving as the official qualifying pathway for the 2026 Magical Kenya Open
(MKO), the battle for ranking points has intensified. A minimum of 15 Kenyan professionals are
expected to qualify for the prestigious European Tour-sanctioned event through the Equator Tour
standings.

While seasoned campaigners like Snow, Chege, and Indiza are aiming to maintain their
dominance, rising stars such as Isaiah Otuke are eyeing a maiden MKO appearance, adding
further intrigue to the competition’s second half.

Corporate League Standings Tighten
In the Equator Tour Corporate League, the Safaricom team, currently leads the standings. Close
behind is a revitalized Kenya Airways side. Early pace-setters Visa now sit third, followed by
UDV/Johnnie Walker, NCBA, and Britam. With midseason player adjustments taking place, team
strategies and selections are expected to play a decisive role in shaping the final leaderboard.

Building Momentum Toward MKO 2026
The Equator Tour continues to demonstrate its value as a high-class platform for Kenya’s
professionals, offering consistent competition and vital preparation ahead of the 2026 Magical
Kenya Open. Golf fans across the country are growing increasingly optimistic that the Kenyan
pros will deliver strong performances when they tee it up against the international field next year.

“The Equator Tour has provided our professionals with a steady platform to compete and
improve throughout the season,” said PGK Chairman CJ Wangai. “The performances we’ve seen
so far, both from our top players and emerging talent, reflect the growing depth of Kenyan golf.
As we move into the second half of the tour, we’re confident our players will be ready to
represent the country strongly at the Magical Kenya Open 2026.”
