For the second year running, the Co-operative Bank of Kenya has renewed its Ksh. 1 million sponsorship for the 2025 Inter-Counties Golf Series to be hosted at Thika Greens Golf Resort.
The series, which brings together amateur golfers from across Kenya’s counties, tees off on 30 August 2025 with over 200 golfers expected to compete, network and battle for bragging rights.
This will be followed by a second round on 20 September, with the final being held on 25 October 2025.
Speaking at the announcement, Fredrick Okello, Head of Executive Banking at Co-operative Bank, said: “Last year, we had the honour of being the Title Sponsor of the TGGR Inter-Counties Golf Series, and it was nothing short of amazing. We saw firsthand how powerful this platform is — not just for golf, but for building meaningful, lasting connections.”
He added: “The Inter-Counties Golf Series is a natural extension of our Captains’ Club experience — and we look forward to deeper engagement this season. We are excited to use this year’s series not only for great golf, but also to host conversations around investment opportunities, and build bridges between clients, counties, and commerce.”
The Bank’s sponsorship will go toward the organization of the tournament, player support, and enhancing the overall experience for both participants and spectators.
The series, established in 2019, has become a vital space for county-level amateur golfers to shine, while also boosting tourism and strengthening ties within local communities.
“We are proud to have Co-operative Bank once again as the Title Sponsor of the Inter-Counties Golf Series,” said Charles Kibiru, CEO of Thika Greens Golf Resort. “This year’s ‘Captains’ Club Network Edition’ theme is perfectly aligned with our shared commitment to leadership, community, and the growth of golf across counties.”
This year’s edition promises to be the biggest yet, uniting passionate golfers, leaders, and county representation to celebrate sport and strategy. “To all teams representing their regions — from Mount Kenya, Eastern, and Happy Valley, to Great Rift, Western, Nyanza, and all counties — we see you, we celebrate you, and we’re planning an unforgettable tournament,” concluded Okello.
Co-op Bank remains committed to supporting sports initiatives nationwide as part of its broader community investment and national development goals.
