President Mahama to perform official tee-off at 4th FNB Head of State Invitational Golf Tournament

The fourth FNB Head of State Invitational Golf Tournament is scheduled for Friday, November 28, at the Achimota Golf Club. This year’s tournament will be officially opened with a ceremonial tee-off by President John Dramani Mahama.

The 2025 edition, themed “Giving Back to the Community through Golf,” will feature 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana and beyond, highlighting the tournament’s commitment to using the spirit of golf to foster community development and social impact.

Conceived as a unique initiative to honor the Head of State, the tournament symbolically bridges executive leadership with the private sector, providing a platform for meaningful interaction, policy dialogue, and strategic partnerships.

In addition to President Mahama, other notable guests expected at the tee-off ceremony include the Minister for Sports and Recreation, Mr Kofi Adams, Sir Sam Jonah, Frank Adu, President of the Achimota Golf Club, Kweku Okyere, President of the Ghana Golf Association, and Mr Warren Adams, CEO of FNB, among others.

Participants will compete in categories including Men’s Group A, Men’s Group B, and the Ladies’ Group. To promote competitive balance, the event employs a handicap scoring system, using both gross and net scores to determine winners in each category. This format rewards overall excellence while recognizing individual performance relative to skill level, encouraging participation from a diverse range of golfers.

Organizers have also announced attractive prizes to be presented to winners at the closing ceremony. A particularly memorable moment in the tournament’s history came in 2018 when it received a “royal touch.” Hosted in Kumasi, that edition captured national attention as two of Ghana’s most revered traditional leaders and avid golfers — Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and Okyenhene Amoatia Ofori Panin II — jointly participated in the ceremonial tee-off.
