Globus Bank Partners Falcon for World Corporate Golf Challenge 2026
When the 2026 edition of the famed World Corporate Golf Challenge, National Finals gets underway at the prestigious Ikoyi Club 1938 between May 29 and 31, it will be with great excitement as Falcon Golf Development Company (FGDC), the events franchise holder in Nigeria, has repositioned the tournament from a standard event to a high-tier networking tournament for Nigeria’s corporate elite.
With Globus Bank backing the new initiative, Remi Olukoya, the Chief Executive Officer of FGDC, declared yesterday that the tournament will a must-play for every discerning golfer.
According to him, the 2026 edition emphasises raising the bar, with improved innovations and deeper corporate networking opportunities on-the-green for sponsors and participants even as this year’s edition is already generating lots of interest across the country.
As part of the innovations, FGDC will be fielding a second team based on gross score only with the team with the lowest gross representing Nigeria’s Team 2 at the world finals on the road to Beijingin China. Team 1 would be chosen through Stableford, using ¾ of official Handicap, best score per hole between each player and partner.
“For those who are not competition inclined but are looking for an exclusive golf event, please join us for our VIP Guest Category, which will be based on individual Stableford using ¾ of official handicap. This is all in our effort to raise funds for the Falcon Golf Academy for the development of young boys & girls to become Nigeria’s next educated golf professionals.
“We have done a lot to add value to 2026 World Corporate Golf Challenge. Apart from the usual winner-takes-all that we use to do, there is now an opportunity for gross players to also experience what it is like to play the World Finals of WCGC 2026”, Olukoya stressed.
He continues: “We encourage golfers to join us for an unforgettable weekend of Golf, Networking, relaxation and entertainment.”
He also commended individuals and corporate sponsors of the tournament over the years saying their efforts are deeply appreciated.
“We want to thank some of our regular sponsors, NCDMB, Banwo & Ighodalo, Pepsi, Suzuki Motors by Cfao, Guinness, Aquafina, Davisther Insurance Brokers, GTI Capital, Jotun Paint, Upstream Commercial Assets, Yoke Solutions, ADL Solutions, TrueBlue Energy, Singleton, Technogym to mention a few”
