At New Giza Golf Club, golf in Egypt took another confident step forward as the Egypt Golf Series officially got underway. Speaking on NileFM during a special live broadcast with Micky and Nadine, Stewart Clayton, National Head Coach, shared insight into the significance of the MENA Golf Tour and how Egypt is positioning itself as a key destination on the regional and international golf scene.
Clayton described the opening event as the starting point of an ambitious calendar, with 13 professional tournaments set to take place across Egypt between now and April. The series brings together the MENA Tour, Alps Tour, and Pro Golf Tour in collaboration with the Egyptian Golf Federation, creating new opportunities for both local and international players.
He emphasized that the impact goes beyond competition. The presence of Egyptian professionals, top-ranked amateurs, and young developing players reflects a clear strategy to build pathways for the next generation while raising the global profile of golf in Egypt.
From elite players to grassroots initiatives, Clayton highlighted how the tournament environment allows young talents to experience life at the highest level of the sport. Junior clinics, open access to facilities, and community-focused activities were all part of the wider vision to make golf more accessible and inclusive.
Clayton also addressed the changing perception of golf, stressing that the sport is no longer limited to a narrow audience. With modern facilities, relaxed atmospheres, and federation-backed development programs, golf in Egypt is becoming open to players of all ages and backgrounds.
Choosing Egypt as a major stop on the MENA Golf Tour was a strategic decision. According to Clayton, the country offers a rare blend of world-class courses, year-round playable weather, and a cultural setting that appeals to players traveling from across Europe and beyond. Hosting multiple events allows visiting golfers to fully experience Egypt, not just as a competition venue but as a destination.
As the tour moves from Cairo to the North Coast and back again, Clayton believes the long-term benefits will extend well beyond the leaderboard. The series represents a commitment to growth, accessibility, and sustainability, reinforcing Egypt&rsquo;s place on the global golf calendar.
