IBB Golf Club Goes Global on October 1 with 100 Foreign Players

The prestigious IBB Golf Club in Abuja is set to put Nigeria and Africa on the global golf map as it hosts over 500 eager golfers including 100 foreigners in the October 1st Independence Golf Tourney,

The highly anticipated 2023 edition which will be the country’s single biggest golf tournament will run from September 25 to October 1st. It will be a celebration of unity, talent, and excellence on the lush greens of one of Africa's best championship golf courses.

This year’s IBB Golf Club Independence edition will be exposed to a national and global audience expected to surpass over 100 million people.

For the first time in its storied history, the Independence Golf Tourney will see the participation of four countries, welcoming approximately 100 foreign players to the course.

The IBB Club Captain, Banjo Obaleye, stated that “the international camaraderie underscores the tournament's growing reputation and showcases the lush conditions of the course, made possible by state-of-the-art machinery never seen before in Nigeria’s golf history.”

Breaking away from the traditional approach, this year's event also promises to create an unforgettable tournament for players and unprecedented experiential experience for sponsors.

Though the IBB International Golf and Country Club itself cannot affiliate with international golf bodies, the pursuit of global recognition remains at the forefront.

The Chairman of the Independence Cup Organising Committee, and the Club’s Vice Captain, Ibrahim Babayo said that “the Club will continue to carefully forge strategic partnerships with overseas golf clubs, and work to propel the Independence Golf Tourney into the ranks of the world's top 20 tournaments.”
