The Guinness Ghana Annual Golf Championship Is Set – 30 May 2026, Achimota Golf Club
ACCRA, Ghana — Guinness Ghana Breweries PLC (GGB PLC) has announced the return of its
Annual Golf Championship, now evolved into a fully integrated, multi-portfolio sporting
occasion. The exclusive 2026 Guinness Ghana Annual Golf Championship will take place on
30 May at Achimota Golf Club, Accra, bringing together 120 of Ghana’s most distinguished
golfers, business leaders, and industry tastemakers for a day of elite competition, premium
brand experience, and high-end hospitality.
The 2025 edition, held under the Johnnie Walker banner, heavily endorsed by the Ghana Golf
Association, was named Golf Tournament of the Year by TheGolfer Online, recognized for its
exceptional organization, strong media engagement, and the energy that defined every
moment of the day. Building on that foundation, the 2026 championship brings Johnnie
Walker, Guinness™, Heineken, and Malta Guinness together under one corporate platform,
marking the first time GGB PLC’s multi-premium portfolio has been activated on a single
competitive Golf stage.
A ceremonial tee-off, led by GGB PLC Board Chairman Dr. Felix Elvis Addo and Managing
Director Mr. Frédéric Feraille, alongside the President of the Ghana Golf Association and
Captain of Achimota Golf Club, will mark the official commencement of play — underscoring
the occasion’s significance as both a sporting and corporate milestone. Participants will move
through curated brand experiences across the course, including signature refreshment
activations at Hole 9, before gathering at the clubhouse for an elevated food and beverage
pairing session that places each brand in its finest culinary context.
The day culminates in a dinner and awards ceremony with an after-party experience to end
the night in grand style. Media coverage will span television, radio, print, and digital platforms,
amplifying the championship’s reach across Ghana’s business, lifestyle, and sporting
audiences.
Managing Director, GGB PLC – Mr. Frédéric Feraille
“The inaugural championship in 2025 demonstrated what is possible when a world-class
brand commits to Ghana’s golfing community. In 2026, we are going further; bringing
Johnnie Walker, Guinness™, Heineken, and Malta Guinness under one championship to give
every guest an authentic encounter with the very best we produce. That is our role in Ghana’s
lifestyle and culture: to lead, and to raise the bar.”
President, Ghana Golf Association – Mr. Leonard Kweku Okyere
“We welcome this evolution with great enthusiasm. What Guinness Ghana Breweries PLC
has done is recognize the unique power of golf to convene excellence. This expansion deepens
their investment in the game by creating a landmark occasion that raises the profile of golf
in Ghana, attracts the very best participants, and generates the kind of visibility that benefits
the entire golfing ecosystem. This is precisely the kind of partnership that moves our sport
forward.”
