The second Custodian Classic, which takes place at the Lakowe Lakes Golf Club in Lagos from Thursday, March 28 to 30, will feature about 80 players from Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, Ivory Coast, Senegal, and Cameroon vying for the N20 million prize.
This year’s competition, which is being held in conjunction with the PGG Tour, will consist of 54 holes. Following 36 rounds of play, the top 30 players will advance to the final round.
According to Wole Oshin, Group Managing Director of Custodian Investment Plc, the occasion demonstrated the business’ dedication to social investment.
Femi Olagbenro, a director of the PDG Tour, praised the alliance as a means of boosting player development and the stability of the tour. “The transition to Lakowe Lakes Golf Club as host of the event signifies the tour’s evolution. What we are building is a very dynamic platform where players will have to fight hard for every win and eventually challenge their productivity and abilities. We have tried a new venue for every returning event so far on this second season of the tour, and this is what we hope we can continue,” Olagbenro said.
The inaugural edition was won by Ghanaian Vincent Torgah at the Ikoyi 1938 Golf section.
“The Custodian Classic has become a part of our social investment towards capacity development of the Nigerian youth, a demographic pivotal to our nation’s future. It is our way of communicating faith in the abundance of talents in the country.”
