The 54-hole Nigeria Closed of the 2026 Lakowe Lakes Classic began on September 30 at the par-72 Lakowe Lakes Golf Club, with more than 150 professional golfers participating. The Nigeria Closed offers a prize purse of N30 million, while the international leg, scheduled from October 2 to October 4, features a $50,000 prize purse and World Golf Ranking points.
Golfers from over 12 African countries, including Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and others, will compete alongside Nigeria’s top players. CIG Motor is incentivizing the international leg by offering a brand-new electric car to the overall winner.
Oche Odoh, a former Nigeria number one golfer, stated that hosting Sunshine Development Tour events in Nigeria significantly benefits local professionals by providing more opportunities for international competition and ranking points without the need to travel abroad.
