SUMMARY:Pearl of Africa Golf Series - Kigo Leg
DESCRIPTION:Pearl of Africa Golf Series — Kigo Leg \nThe Pearl of Africa Golf Series returns to Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort & Spa in Kigo this September\, bringing another stop in Uganda’s premier professional golf circuit to the shores of Lake Victoria. Launched to elevate the region’s professional golf ecosystem to international standards\, the Series has quickly become a marquee calendar event\, drawing top professionals and rising talent from across East Africa to compete on some of the country’s finest courses.  \nAt Kigo\, players will take on the par-72 layout at Serena — home to the lowest competitive round ever shot in Uganda — set against the scenic backdrop of the lake. Whether you’re following the leaderboard or soaking in a weekend of world-class golf\, the Kigo leg offers spectators and golf enthusiasts alike a front-row seat to the sport’s growing profile in the Pearl of Africa. \nA caveat worth flagging: I could confirm the Series’ 2026 legs at Entebbe\, Lugazi\, and Uganda Golf Club Kampala in press coverage\, but not a Kigo/September date specifically — that detail comes from what you gave me. If you have a press release\, program\, or organizer confirmation for this leg\, it’d be worth double-checking the exact dates before this goes live\, since a nearby-but-different event (the I&M Bank Serena 63 Series) also runs a Kigo tournament on September 12.
