Ikoyi Club 1938 Set to Host 15th Annual DOAM Foundation Charity Golf Tournament

Posted : 17 April 2026

The 15th edition of the Daniel Ogechi Akujobi Memorial (DOAM) Foundation Charity Golf Tournament is scheduled to tee off on Saturday, April 18, 2026. Hosted at the Golf Section of the Ikoyi Club 1938 in Lagos, the event has established itself as a premier fixture on the Nigerian social and sporting calendar. Organizers have promised a high-standard competition characterized by unique guest experiences and a competitive field of amateur golfers.

The final round of the tournament will feature approximately 160 players, including invited guests who successfully navigated the qualifying stages. These qualifiers were held earlier in the month on April 3 and 4 at the same venue. Participants will compete for various trophies and premium prizes across multiple categories, with the event serving as a major fundraising platform for the foundation’s charitable initiatives.

According to Bukunmi Osunsina, the Foundation’s Media Liaison Officer, the organization has reached a significant milestone by impacting over 98,000 lives since its inception. The funds raised from this year’s tournament are earmarked for several intervention programs in 2026. These projects focus primarily on providing free medical care, educational support, and nutritional aid to underserved communities across Nigeria.

The 2026 edition has attracted a diverse array of corporate heavyweights and individual donors. Major sponsors from the financial sector include Zenith Bank, Access Bank, First Bank, and Polaris Bank. The tournament also enjoys support from industrial and consumer goods leaders such as Flour Mills of Nigeria, Seven-Up Bottling Company, and Cappa and D’Alberto Limited. This growing list of partners underscores the corporate community's commitment to the foundation’s social mission.

In addition to the competitive golf, the foundation plans to host a special recognition ceremony during the tournament dinner. This session will acknowledge long-standing sponsors and individuals who have supported the charity since its inaugural edition 15 years ago. The organizers noted that the sustained interest from sectors like Fintech, Hospitality, and Insurance has been vital to the event's longevity and success.

Beyond the trophies, the tournament serves as a critical networking hub for business leaders and sports enthusiasts. The atmosphere at the Ikoyi Club 1938 is expected to be vibrant as the foundation aims to surpass its previous fundraising targets. With the final field of players now confirmed, the stage is set for a day of sporting excellence driven by a commitment to social welfare.
