He said the event which will see well over 100 professional golfers converge in Ilorin,will commence with the professional tee-off on Tuesday, July 11.

Maliki said that the competition is to be managed by Sluqfort Nigeria Ltd, Nigeria's premier promoters, organisers and consultants on golf tournaments.
