The 20th edition of the MTN World Golfers Championship which tees off later this month in Durban, South Africa will attract the participation of Nigerian couples in the World Invitational Golf (WGI) version of the event, THISDAY has learnt.

The WGC will strive to reinforce its reputation as the marquee tournament for amateur golfers in the world, creating the platform for business interaction for over 400 players in Durban from October 28-November 8, 2014.

We reliably gathered from the organisers that ahead of the departure of the Nigerian delegation to South Africa on October 28, two Nigerian prominent golf playing couples are among those that are set to appear at the event.

The couples who will contend in the WGI, according to the Marketing Director of Global Golf, the technical partners of the MTN WGC in Nigeria, Obinna Duru, include Mr and Mrs Matthew Okonkwo and Mr and Mrs Debo Olateju.

Matthew Okonkwo was the former Captain of Air Assault Golf Club, Port Harcourt while Debo Olateju was the immediate past Captain of IBB International Golf and Country Club, Abuja.

The Olatejus are no strangers to the WGI stableford contest, having figured at the 18th edition of the annual event in Durban in 2012.

Aside the couple, we also scooped that the invitational schedule will feature the likes of Paul Abiyou, Sani Anka, Bello Gwandu, Dr Akpofure and Peter Eben- Spiff.

The expanded MTN WGC will spread over 10 days of engaging golf on four championship golf courses in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Province.

Nigeria will be represented in five handicap flights in the main WGC event by Sunday Ajah, 0-5;  Francis Demeeka, 6-10; Usenobong Akpabio, 11-15; Angela Uwabor, 16-20;  and Babajide Oredugba, 21-25.

The first three days of the tournament will witness charity tournament designated in memory of the founder of the WGC, Sven Tumba. Each of the three categories of events at the WGC will attract the prize tag of $30,000.

Apart from the usual competition the WGC will entail a series of activities lined out to give the participants a lingering experience. Delegates to Durban will experience the flag raising ceremony, trade and investment business networking cocktail party, festival of golf exhibition, KwaZulu Natal tourism event, climaxing in the award gala dinner and prize giving ceremony.
