Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tour will be played around Kenyan golf clubs, but plans are underway to extend the tour to other East African countries, including Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania.
"It has been hard and not easy. We are starting a bit late than anticipated but we are excited that we managed to bring the tour back," said Obath.
