“I hope this moment inspires young girls across the country to pick up a golf club and know that they belong on the fairways and greens, not just as players, but as professionals.”

Naomi’s journey has been anything but ordinary.

From humble beginnings to representing Kenya in international tournaments, her story is one of grit, grace, and growth.

The female golfer won continental accolades, inspired young golfers, and carved out a name as one of the most respected talents in the sport.

Now, as a pro, she is poised to blaze an even brighter trail.

“Naomi Wafula’s induction is a proud and historic moment for us as an organization,” said PGK CEO Robert Muthomi.

He added: “Her professionalism, work ethic, and achievements reflect the very best of Kenyan golf.”

PGK Chairman CJ Wangai echoed Naomi’s excitement lauding her for her talent, determination, and character saying she will always find a place in their professional ranks.

“We’re proud to walk with her on this new chapter, and we’re confident she will open doors for many more women to follow,” stated Wangai excitedly.

PGK has been stepping up its efforts to grow the game for women from creating women’s categories in the Equator Tour, to championing youth development.

Naomi’s membership isn’t just symbolic — it’s strategic.

With her eyes now set on the pro circuit, Naomi carries not just her clubs but the hopes of a female generation in a sport long dominated by men.

She is proof that the greens are wide open for every Kenyan girl with a dream and the sustainable drive and passion to chase it.
