FirstBank Lagos Amateur Open Golf Championship

FirstBank is celebrating the 63rd edition of the FirstBank Lagos Amateur Open Golf Championship.

Through First@Sports, the Bank has consistently demonstrated its commitment to the development of sporting talents in Nigeria as well as the sustenance of Legacy sporting activities such as Golf, Polo and Tennis.

FirstBank’s ownership of the Lagos Amateur Open Golf Championship has given the Bank the differentiation as the major driver of the oldest Bank-owned golf amateur championship, not just in Nigeria, but in this part of the world.

This annual event attracts the best amateur golfers domestically and internationally, having achieved the status of the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) event, administered by the R&A and USGA. This status has given the Championship a heightened level of recognition on the world stage as far as amateur golf championships are concerned. The FirstBank Lagos Amateur Open Golf Championship is now one of the international golf events where all amateur golfers worldwide can participate and amass points to aid their WAGR rankings.

The game of golf is an aspirational sport in Nigeria and the world at large. It promotes a fun and healthy competitive recreation. Fundamentally, golf fosters relationship building and there may be no place better to build, deepen, and strengthen relationships than on the golf course.
