ICEA Lion Uganda Insurance strengthens support for golf development while promoting specialized Clubman Golf Cover
ICEA LION Uganda has increased its sponsorship of the Kinyara Golf Open from Shs30 million in 2025 to Shs35 million this year, reaffirming its commitment to golf development and specialized insurance solutions for golfers.
The 28th edition of the tournament will take place from November 19 to 21 at Kinyara Golf Club in Bujenje, Masindi District, attracting more than 150 professional, amateur and senior golfers from Uganda and across East Africa.
Moses Mugalu, Marketing and Communication at ICEA LION, said the increased sponsorship demonstrates the insurer’s continued investment in sport, community engagement and products that respond to customers’ lifestyles.
“Golf is a sport that demands patience, precision and preparation, but players cannot always predict what happens on or off the course. Our decision to increase the sponsorship from Shs30 million to Shs35 million reflects our belief in the tournament and its contribution to growing the sport.
“Beyond supporting the competition, we want golfers to appreciate the importance of protecting their passion. Through our Clubman Golf Cover, we provide specialized insurance designed for golfers. Preparing for the game is important, but having appropriate protection is equally valuable,” he said.
ICEA LION’s Clubman Golf Cover reflects the insurer’s focus on providing solutions tailored to customers’ lifestyles. Golfers can contact the company for details on the cover, its benefits and terms.
The three-day tournament will feature professional golfers competing for cash prizes, alongside men’s and women’s gross categories, senior golfers aged 55 and above, and subsidiary competitions. Side events, including nearest-to-the-pin, longest-drive and hole-in-one challenges, will add to the competition.
John Kennedy Kissarach captain Kinyara Golf Club, said the tournament provides an important platform for golfers to showcase their talent and compete across different categories.
