Achimota Golf Club to Host Major 2026 Tournaments as Guinness Ghana and WCGC Unveil Season Plans

The Achimota Golf Club in Accra is set to become the epicenter of Ghanaian golf in 2026, with two major tournaments recently announced. Guinness Ghana Breweries PLC (GGB PLC) has confirmed the return of its prestigious Annual Golf Championship on May 30, 2026, while the World Corporate Golf Challenge (WCGC) Ghana has officially launched its 2026 season, culminating in a National Final at the same venue on July 10, 2026. These events represent a significant surge in the country's sporting calendar, blending high-level competition with premium corporate networking opportunities.

The Guinness Ghana Annual Golf Championship returns with an expanded, multi-portfolio format that integrates several iconic brands, including Johnnie Walker, Guinness, Heineken, and Malta Guinness. Building on the success of its 2025 edition—which was recognized as the Golf Tournament of the Year—the 2026 event will host 120 leading golfers and industry captains. GGB PLC aims to provide an enhanced experience through curated brand activations and a high-profile awards ceremony, reinforcing its commitment to elevating Ghana's golfing community and celebrating excellence in sports.

Parallel to the Guinness championship, the World Corporate Golf Challenge Ghana is preparing for a season focused on international prestige and business development. The competition features two-man executive teams from various sectors vying for the opportunity to represent Ghana at the WCGC World Finals in Beijing, China. The 2026 season launch has drawn significant support from partners such as Metro TV, which serves as the headline media partner, and Boab Engineering Services. Organizers have emphasized that the tournament is not merely about sport, but serves as a strategic platform for top-tier executives to build lasting professional relationships.

A key theme for the upcoming WCGC season is the drive for inclusivity, with a specific focus on increasing female participation in corporate golf. This initiative seeks to break traditional barriers in the sport and ensure that women leaders are well-represented in both the local tournament and the potential world stage in Beijing. Registration for corporate teams is currently open, with various sponsorship packages available for businesses looking to align their brands with this global competitive platform.

As these two major events approach, the Ghanaian golfing landscape is poised for a transformative year. The combination of Guinness Ghana’s brand-driven excellence and the WCGC’s international corporate pathway highlights the growing maturity of the sport in the country. Participants and corporate stakeholders are encouraged to register early to secure their place in what promises to be a landmark season for both sports development and business networking in Ghana.
