For the first time, Britam Insurance (Rwanda) Limited hosted the Britam Golf Series at Kigali Golf Resort and Villas on Saturday, 16 May, 2026 – reaffirming the company’s commitment to supporting the growth of golf in Rwanda.
Rwanda’s golfing landscape has evolved remarkably over the years. Once viewed as a niche corporate pastime, the sport has grown into a vibrant, competitive, and social platform, attracting professionals, entrepreneurs, young talent, and seasoned athletes alike. At the heart of this growth is Kigali Golf Resort and Villas, which continues to serve as the epicenter of major national tournaments and corporate series.
Golf in Rwanda is not just about sport; it is about discipline, integrity, patience, and strategic thinking. Weekend tournaments at Kigali Golf Resort and Villas regularly draw hundreds of players across different handicap categories, reflecting a dynamic and inclusive golfing community. The rise of corporate-sponsored tournaments has further elevated standards of competition, course experience, and professional networking.
The Britam Golf Series has become part of this growing legacy. The Series blends high-level competition with premium hospitality. Players will compete for grand winner accolades alongside exciting skills challenges such as Longest Drive and Nearest to the Pin, crowd-favorite segments that test both power and precision.
To sustain this momentum, Britam Insurance (Rwanda) Limited will sign a Memorandum of Understanding with Kigali Golf Resort and Villas to organise the Britam Golf Series over the next five years in Rwanda.
Andrew Kulayige, the CEO, Britam Insurance (Rwanda) Limited, notes that: “Golf mirrors the values we stand for at Britam Insurance Company (Rwanda) Limited: strategy, resilience, focus, and long-term vision. Through the Britam Golf Series, we are proud to support Rwanda’s growing golf culture while creating meaningful platforms for connection, excellence, and opportunity.”
As Rwanda’s golf community continues to expand with increased youth participation, world-class facilities, and a packed annual tournament calendar, events like the Britam Golf Series play a vital role in sustaining momentum and elevating the sport’s profile.
On 16th May 2026, all roads lead to Kigali Golf Resort and Villas Golf Club for a premium day of competition, camaraderie, and championship spirit.
Whether competing for glory or cheering from the greens, this is where precision meets prestige and where champions are made.
