The Barclays Kenya Open are set to host African football legend, Austin “Jay Jay” Okocha.
The Nigerian legend will be swapping his boots for clubs to play at the Barclays Pro-Am which will take place on Wednesday at Muthaiga Golf Club.
The Pro-Am, which has traditionally acted as the curtain raiser to the Open, is aimed at giving Kenyan amateurs an opportunity to play with, and learn from, the best in the sport from all over the globe.
“We are excited to be hosting Jay Jay Okocha at this year’s Barclays Kenya Open.
“His legendary status transcends football and we hope that his participation in this tournament will excite a section of his fan base to take an interest in golf,” said Caroline Ndungu, director, marketing and corporate relations at Barclays Bank, Kenya.
