AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> The Kenya Open Golf Limited and the European Tour on Friday announced that the Magical Kenya Open has been rescheduled to take place from November 12-15 at Karen Country Club.<\/p>\n

The tournament was initially due to be played from March 12-15 at the same venue, but was postponed following the Government of Kenya directives to prevent the spread of the COVID-19.<\/p>\n

The rescheduled Magical Kenya Open is part of the European Tour\u2019s reshaped 2020 schedule,<\/p>\n

with all tournaments subject to the Tour\u2019s stringent medical health strategy which will evolve in line with government guidance in the countries the Tour visits.<\/p>\n

Making the announcement, Peter Kanyago, the Chairman of the Kenya Open Golf Limited pointed out the special relationship that the Kenya Open continues to have with the European Tour and the aim of growing the game of golf in Kenya and the region<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kenya Open has been connected with the European Tour since the mid-1970s. We held the first designated full European Tour title event last year and we were all happy with the success. We would like to keep the momentum going by hosting the second European Tour event this year,\u201d said Peter Kanyago.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a European Tour event, the Magical Kenya Open will be televised live all over the world\u00a0just like it was last year.This will give the Kenyan tourism industry the impetus it requires to\u00a0start rebuilding after the devastation caused by the global pandemic as people all over the\u00a0world see that our country is opening up,\u201d added Kanyago.<\/p>\n

The prize purse for the rescheduled Magical Kenya Open 2020 will be\u20ac 1,000,000 and is\u00a0expected to have a field size of 144 players.<\/p>\n

Out of these, 12 will be from the 2019-2020 Safari Tour as well as six amateur golfers selected by the Kenya Golf Union.<\/p>\n

Ben Cowen, the European Tour\u2019s Deputy Chief Operating Officer International, said: \u201cWe are\u00a0very pleased to be able to keep the proud tradition of the Magical Kenya Open going this\u00a0November. We look forward to working with Keyna Open Golf Limited, the tournament partners and everyone in the local region in staging another successful edition as part of our reshaped 2020 season.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
