Safari Tour 2020/21 season was launched yesterday in Nairobi with the first event set for Limuru Country Club early next month.
Kenya Open Golf Limited through its tournament director, Patrick Obath, said the first leg will be on October 4-7 at the 18-hole course.
“The members of the Safari Tour have been keen to resume active competition since the suspension of all sports activities,” said Obath.
