Katogo Golf Series for Sun City as it maintains cross-border legs

The 2026 I&M Bank Katogo Golf Series will maintain its international appeal with Ugandan golfers taking to the Sun City Golf Resort course in September. 

This follows the bank’s three-year extension of their partnership with the series and their earlier support for cross-border legs in Kenya and Rwanda.

Speaking to golfers in Entebbe on Saturday, I&M Bank Chief Financial Officer Timothy Musiime revealed that the I&M Bank Katogo Golf Series will take this year’s cross-border leg to Sun City Golf Resort, a premier world-class golf destination located near Pilanesberg National Park, in Johannesburg, South Africa.

This will be the third time the series will host an event outside Uganda, after a regional leg in Kigali, Rwanda, last year, and the inaugural cross-border tour that was held in Limuru, Kenya, in 2024.

Musiime also reiterated that this season, the series will have a reciprocal visit by members of Limuru Country Club, a return leg of the inaugural cross-border leg held in 2024. The return visit is expected to further strengthen the growing camaraderie and sporting ties between golfers in Uganda and Kenya. 

“In September, we will be travelling to Johannesburg, South Africa, for another cross-border leg at Sun City Golf Resort. This promises to be one of the highlights of the season. I encourage as many of you as possible to join us as we take the Katogo spirit to ‘Msanzi,’” Bairstow stated. 

“We are here to stay. We are committing another next three years, all the way to 2029," he said, as the audience cheered on. “And I can assure you that during the next three years, things are only going to get better and better. We look forward to growing the series further, creating more memorable experiences with you, and continuing to strengthen the Katogo spirit and community.” 

Musiime also revealed that the bank supported Entebbe Club to acquire green mowers that will ease the maintenance of the course.

“We are sure this equipment will not only help ease the work of the course maintenance team, but will also ensure the course is always in pristine shape.”

The Katogo series is supported by Johnnie Walker, Victoria Motors, GA Insurance, RwandAir, Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort and Spa, Kampala Serena Hotel, Fenon Events, Goldman’s Luxury, Case Hospital, and Time Cop Security.
