ACCRA, Ghana — Guinness Ghana Breweries PLC (GGB PLC) has announced the return of its Annual Golf Championship, now evolved into a fully integrated, multi-portfolio sporting occasion. The exclusive 2026 Guinness Ghana Annual Golf Championship will take place on 30 May at Achimota Golf Club, Accra, bringing together 120 of Ghana’s most distinguished golfers, business leaders, and industry tastemakers for a day of elite competition, premium brand experience, and high-end hospitality.
The 2025 edition, held under the Johnnie Walker banner, heavily endorsed by the Ghana Golf Association, was named Golf Tournament of the Year by TheGolfer Online, recognized for its exceptional organization, strong media engagement, and the energy that defined every moment of the day. Building on that foundation, the 2026 championship brings Johnnie Walker, Guinness™, Heineken, and Malta Guinness together under one corporate platform, marking the first time GGB PLC’s multi-premium portfolio has been activated on a single competitive Golf stage.
A ceremonial tee-off, led by GGB PLC Board Chairman Dr. Felix Elvis Addo and Managing Director Mr. Frédéric Feraille, alongside the President of the Ghana Golf Association and Captain of Achimota Golf Club, will mark the official commencement of play — underscoring the occasion’s significance as both a sporting and corporate milestone. Participants will move through curated brand experiences across the course, including signature refreshment activations at Hole 9, before gathering at the clubhouse for an elevated food and beverage pairing session that places each brand in its finest culinary context.
The day culminates in a dinner and awards ceremony with an after-party experience to end the night in grand style. Media coverage will span television, radio, print, and digital platforms, amplifying the championship’s reach across Ghana’s business, lifestyle, and sporting audiences.
Managing Director, GGB PLC – Mr. Frédéric Feraille

That is our role in Ghana’s lifestyle and culture: to lead, and to raise the bar.”
