The World Corporate Golf Challenge (WCGC) Ghana has officially launched its 2026 season, setting the stage for another exciting corporate golfing tournament aimed at strengthening business networking and sporting excellence.

The launch event was held at the Achimota Golf Club clubhouse in Accra on May 22, 2026, where organizers unveiled plans for the highly anticipated season. Recognized globally as one of the largest corporate golf initiatives, the WCGC seeks to bring together top executives, business owners, and decision-makers from various industries including banking, telecommunications, energy, and technology.

According to the organizers, this year’s competition will climax with the National Final scheduled for Friday, July 10, 2026, at the historic Achimota Golf Club.

The winning corporate team will earn an all-expenses-paid trip to represent Ghana at the prestigious WCGC World Finals in Beijing, China, where they will compete against champions from more than 30 countries.

WCGC Ghana also announced partnerships and support from several corporate institutions including Boab Engineering Services Limited (BESL), Landers Oil and Gas, Raju Ghana Ltd, Black Star Group, Office Bureau, The GC Brand by Ghandour Cosmetics Ltd, Balfour Beatty, Levotude Ltd, and Micasso Tiles. Metro TV has also signed on as the headline media partner for the tournament.

Speaking at the launch, Executive Partner of WCGC Ghana, Catherine A. Fabbi, highlighted the importance of golf in corporate development and relationship-building.

“Golf is far more than a recreational pastime; it is a high-yield strategic asset. Over an 18-hole round, conversations flow naturally, long-term relationships are forged, and major business deals are conceptualized,” she said.

Beyond competition and networking, the organizers emphasized their commitment to inclusivity and sports development, particularly in promoting women’s participation in corporate golf in Ghana.
