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.

The 72 holes event, according to him, is scheduled for Friday, July 14, to give way for about 150 amateur golfers who will take to the course on Saturday, July 15 and Sunday, July 16. Maliki said that the competition is to be managed by Sluqfort Nigeria Ltd, Nigeria's premier promoters, organisers and consultants on golf tournaments.
