NBS Sport is set to broadcast the 2025 Johnnie Walker Uganda Golf Open – Ladies Open live from Lugazi Hills Golf & Country Club in Jinja.
The tournament will take place on Friday, August 29, and Saturday, August 30, featuring the region’s top female golfers competing for the prestigious title. The Ladies Open is part of the acclaimed Uganda Golf Open series, highlighting the growing prominence of women in golf and their dedication to the sport. This year’s tournament promises thrilling competition and showcases the rising talent in Uganda and beyond.
Victor Akatwijuka, Brand Manager at NBS Sport, shared his excitement about the upcoming broadcast: “We are thrilled to bring the 2025 Johnnie Walker Uganda Golf Open – Ladies Open to our viewers. This event highlights the growing prominence of women in Ugandan golf, and we are committed to providing comprehensive coverage that celebrates their achievements.”
Last year’s Uganda Ladies Golf Open at Entebbe Golf Club was a landmark event in East African golf. Tanzanian golfer Iddy Hussein Madina clinched her first Uganda Ladies Open title with a total score of 228 (78-76-74), edging out fellow Tanzanian Hawa Wanyeche, who finished with 230, while Uganda’s Martha Babirye and Tanzania’s Neema Olomi tied for third place with 232.
Madina’s victory marked the culmination of years of dedication and resilience, and her performance under pressure secured her place in the tournament’s history. Babirye’s near-miss highlighted the depth of Ugandan talent, signaling a promising future for women’s golf in the country.
The 2024 tournament not only showcased individual brilliance but also reinforced the growing prominence of women in East African golf, providing a platform for experience, recognition, and the continued development of the sport in the region.
