Ekpe wins 2026 Turkish Airlines Lagos Golf Competition

Posted : 01 May 2026

Karin Ekpe, a pharmacist and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Gottgabe Services International, has emerged as the winner of the 2026 Turkish Airlines Lagos Golf Competition.

Ekpe emerged as the overall winner of the amateur competition with an impressive 41 points.

The highly competitive tournament was held at the golf section of the Ikoyi Club in Lagos.

With her victory in the Lagos edition, Ekpe will join the yet-to-be-determined Abuja winner to represent Nigeria at the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup in Istanbul.

Ekpe’s victory in the 2026 edition sets a record, as she becomes the second female to win the competition in consecutive years.

An elated Ekpe, in an interview on the sidelines, said representing Nigeria at the Turkish Airlines World Golf Cup will be one of the greatest achievements of her golfing career.

Overjoyed, she said she never imagined such a feat, despite the significant effort she had put into her golfing career.

“I am so honoured to have competed and played; it’s beyond my imagination how it turned out.

“When we started, it wasn’t easy because we began under the hot sun. But I stayed focused.

“I told myself, ‘Just focus and play your game;’ I stayed relaxed and just played,” she said.

On her choice of the sport, Ekpe said golf was not her first game, as she had started as a tennis player before being introduced to golf.

“As I kept playing, I developed a passion for it; it’s the only game I play these days.

“Golf keeps you focused and on your toes.”

The victory cements Ekpe's status as a leading figure in the local amateur circuit as she prepares for the international stage. Her transition from tennis to golf has proven successful, marking a significant milestone in her sporting journey. This achievement highlights her consistency and dedication to the sport over the past two years.
