Ikoyi Club 1938 Ladies’ Golf Section Holds 50th Anniversary Tournament
In commemoration of its 50th anniversary, the Ikoyi Club Ladies Golf Section will, from November 11–15, 2025, hold a ladies’ open golf tournament to mark the milestone.
In a statement, the Ladies’ Captain, Mrs. Peggy Onwu, said, “This tournament is unique, as it marks 50 years of commitment, skills development, and building connections with ladies across Africa and beyond.”
This year’s Ladies Open is THE 50TH! and represents a significant milestone in the Nigerian golfing landscape. The event, with its international flavour, is guaranteed to garner the attention and interest of a wide-ranging audience.
The theme for this year’s unique tournament, ‘The 50th’, is aimed at highlighting the prowess, resilience, and organizational ability of a lady golfer, as exemplified in the ladies’ golf swing. It also aligns with the Ikoyi Ladies Golf theme for the year 2025: Go Beyond Golf and Golfing.
The Ikoyi Ladies Open Championship is a legacy event that has often attracted talent predominantly from Africa. This year will be no different, except for the increased spectrum of countries. The tournament, which promises to attract an average of 200 participants from across Africa and different clubs in Nigeria, will be preceded by the historic unveiling of the 50th anniversary logo.
Mrs. Onwu added, ‘As of today, registered participants for the tournament include players from Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Zambia, among other countries. It has been a full calendar year for ladies on the continent, with several open tournaments being held. It will therefore be unpredictable to know which country or who the winner of the 50th edition of the Ikoyi Ladies Open 2025 will be.’
She further stressed that this will also bring out the essence of golf: building friendships, humanity, skills, leadership qualities, and togetherness, while also fostering connections with ladies across Africa and beyond.
