No rest for Pros as MTN Pro Tees returns at Entebbe Club

What the report says

MTN Pro Tee leg 2 is set to begin at Entebbe Club in Uganda, with up to 40 professional golfers taking part at the par-71 lakeside course. The Independent Uganda reported that the event follows four days of play in the Johnnie Walker Uganda Pro Open, and that local pros are using the tournament to maintain form and consistency before the POA Sunshine Development Tour later in the month.

According to the article, the field includes 2026 Johnnie Walker Uganda Pro Open winner Ronald Rugumayo, who is scheduled to play with Entebbe-based professionals Ian Odokonyero and Irene Nakalembe. The outlet also noted that the competition runs over four rounds and offers a prize fund of 15 million shillings.

The report said Abraham Ainamani won the inaugural MTN Pro Tee leg in June, while Abbey Bagalana recorded an ace in that earlier event. It added that the tournament is also important for ranking points, ahead of a December finale with a larger 30 million shilling prize kitty.

More broadly, the story reflects a busy stretch for Uganda’s professional golfers after a strong showing at the national Open, where 14 professionals reportedly made the cut. The Entebbe event gives them another chance to compete, collect points and build momentum for the rest of the season.
