The first edition of the Johnnie Walker Annual Ghana Golf Championship teed off in grand fashion at the Achimota Golf Club in Accra from 30–31 May 2025, blending world-class sport with luxury lifestyle in a bold new chapter for golf in Ghana.

Hosted by Johnnie Walker Blue Label, the two-day championship brought together 120 golfers from 10 countries, alongside industry leaders, tastemakers, and brand partners.

With both men and women competing across top-tier categories, the event showcased the growing inclusivity and international appeal of the sport in West Africa.

More than just a competition, the event delivered an immersive experience, featuring bespoke Johnnie Walker Blue Label tastings, curated culinary sessions, and immersive brand storytelling that fused tradition with innovation.

Day one began with a symbolic official tee-off, setting the tone for a weekend of high-calibre golf. The evening concluded with a dinner reception and the Mirror Ball Experience - a signature celebration of luxury, music, and connection.

The second day offered another competitive round on the fairways, accompanied by live music from Ghana’s Honey Groove Band, and concluded with a grand awards ceremony honouring standout performers across a range of categories.

The tournament marked more than a milestone for Johnnie Walker; it also coincided with Guinness Ghana’s 65th anniversary, symbolising a legacy of excellence and bold character that continues to shape premium experiences in Ghana and beyond.

Marketing and Innovations Director of Guinness, Estella Muzito said: "It is a big success for us because we are interacting with our consumers.

"People are enjoying a lot of Johnnie Walker [golf competition]. They are enjoying the game on the green and they are saying 'we want more of these'."
