CEO Golf Challenge
Golf tournaments are sports events that bring people from all walks of life together. The CEO Golf Challenge is a golf contest between CEOs in Ghana. Annually, the CEOs battle it out on a golf course. The winner is crowned the best CEO golfer in Ghana for that year. Individual golfers who excel in various fields are also awarded. Beginning from Accra, the challenge will be rotated throughout the country, being held in a different region each year.
Currently, there are formidable golf clubs in Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi, Tema, and Cape Coast. Most clubs hold individual tournaments sponsored by MTN, Stanbic Bank, and Otumfuor Osei Tutu among others. The CEO Golf Challenge, however, brings together all CEOs in these golf clubs to compete in one tournament. The winner is declared the ultimate champion in Ghana.
