250 Lady Golfers Set to Compete in 2025 Northern Zone Golf Championship

Posted : 19 June 2025

No fewer than 250 lady golfers from across Nigeria have converged in Minna, the Niger State capital, for the 2025 Northern Zone Golf Championship.

The National President of the Ladies Golf Association of Nigeria (LGAN), Evelyn Ovome, revealed this during a press conference held as part of activities marking the tournament's opening ceremony.

Ovome also announced that on November 26, Nigeria would host several African nations for the All Africa Golf Challenge Trophy at the IBB Golf Club in Abuja. She appealed to the Federal Government through the National Sports Commission (NSC) to support the successful hosting of the event.

Additionally, she urged the government to reinstate golf as a featured event in Nigeria’s national sports calendar, noting that golf had not yet been introduced to the next Olympic Games.

Earlier, LGAN’s 1st Vice President, Lami Ahmed, noted that the ongoing championship commencing on June 18 and ending on June 21, will be played over 54 holes by the 250 participating golfers.

“We chose Minna as the host city because we want to extend the reach of the tournament across Northern Nigeria and encourage more women to take up the sport,” Ahmed explained.

She added that the championship meets the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) standard and will feature amateur lady golfers, while their male counterparts will participate as guest players.
