Swiss multinational food and drink processing company Nestlé has inked a sponsorship deal with the Muthaiga Golf Club as the host of the 53rd Magical Kenya Open Championships scheduled to start at the Par 72 Golf Course on Thursday.

The sponsorship will see the company provide hot beverages throughout the tournament, giving fans, players and officials a taste of their diverse products, at no charge.

With a prize purse of Sh227.5mn ($2 million), the 2022 Magical Kenya Open draws over 150 golfers from Kenya and around the world, including eight Kenyan professionals, six Kenyan amateurs, and two regional players.

The tournament tees off on Thursday with the winner set to be crowned on Sunday. It returns to the Muthaiga Golf Club after being staged at the Karen Country Club.

The Muthaiga Golf Club has undergone some sprucing up to make it ready to welcome some of the best in the world, with a newly built bridge that will be used by golf enthusiasts to cross over from the front to back nine being recently commissioned.
