Excitement is mounting as the Memory Lane PGA Championship, a premier event on the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) Ghana calendar, is set to take place from October 16-18, 2024, at the Royal Golf Club in Kumasi.

This tournament offers Ghana’s top professional golfers a final opportunity to secure their spots in the ultimate PGA Championship, slated for the Celebrity Golf Club in Sakumono later this year. The competition will determine the selection of 24 golfers who will participate in the year-end tournament, making it a pivotal event for players eager to prove their skills.

Following the conclusion of Gold Fields’ decade-long sponsorship in 2023, the PGA has secured a new title sponsor, which will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Behind the scenes, PGA leadership teams in both Accra and Kumasi are working diligently to ensure the smooth organization of the event. Tournament Director Eric Henaku, alongside former director Rev. Akwasi Prempeh, expressed their excitement over the significant interest shown by golfers, particularly as the championship serves as the season’s final qualifier.

From the UK, PGA Director of Operations Ahmed Padori encouraged emerging professionals to stay focused and approach the tournament with confidence. He urged lower-ranked players not to be discouraged but to give their best efforts in pursuit of a top score.

Mr. Padori also extended thanks to Professor Bernard Kofi Baiden and the team at the Royal Golf Club for hosting the championship, ensuring a top-tier venue for this prestigious event.
