The 2020 Magical Kenya Open, initially postponed, is set to tee off in November. The event will take place at Karen Country Club from November 12-15.
As part of the European Tour's reshaped 2020 schedule, the tournament will be subject to the Tour's stringent medical health strategy, which will evolve in line with government guidance in the countries where the Tour is held.
According to Peter Kanyago, Chairman of the Kenya Open Golf Ltd, the Kenya Open enjoys a good relationship with the European Tour.
"The Kenya Open has been connected with the European Tour since the mid-1970s. We held the first European Tour title event last year and were happy with the success. We would like to keep the momentum going by hosting the second European Tour event this year," said Kanyago.
As a European Tour event, the Magical Kenya Open will be televised live all over the world, providing a boost to the Kenyan tourism industry in the post-COVID-19 era.
