According to the lead organiser, John Mawuli Nyarko, all is set for the championship to commence, and he expects an exciting display of golf, particularly from the professionals competing for cash prizes and bragging rights.
Speaking to the media, the President of the Celebrity Golf Club, Tang Hong, expressed confidence in the event’s organisation, stating that the tournament would continue to showcase excellence from both the organisers and sponsors. He added that the championship would serve as a platform to strengthen Ghanaian-Chinese relations.
