On Thursday, Inchcape Kenya Limited signed a partnership deal with the Nation Media Group worth Sh13 million for this weekend's Nation Classic golf series grand finale at Limuru Country Club.
The deal includes a Jaguar E-Pace valued at $125,000 (approximately Sh12.5 million) as a special prize for the first golfer to hole in one at the 201-yard long par three-seventh hole during the tournament on Saturday.
Nation Media Group Chief Executive Officer Stephen Gitagama expressed gratitude for the partnership, stating that it would be a great opportunity for the company to showcase its offerings in the Kenyan market.
"We are truly grateful for this support as Saturday will be a great day not only for the Nation Media Group but for the game of golf as well," said Gitagama.
Gitagama also highlighted the Nation's involvement in the development of the sport through the series, which marks 34 years in 2019, and other events supported in the country.
"With us, you will have a great opportunity to market your products countrywide as the Nation Classic is staged in different parts of the country," he added.
Inchcape Managing Director Hussein Ibrahim expressed happiness at being part of the weekend's tournament at Limuru and hoped to extend their partnership in the future.
This weekend's tournament brings together a record field of 250 players, following others held in Kisumu, Nanyuki, Nyali in Mombasa, and Eldoret.
