Snow earns Sunshine Tour card after 90 holes golf battle
Muthaiga’s Greg Snow executes a drive shot during the Inter-Clubs Patrons Cup foursomes match on August 23, last year at his home club.
Kenya’s leading professional Greg Snow has earned a coveted Sunshine Tour card following an impressive performance at the Theo Manyama Qualifying School - Final Stage held from March 25 to 29th at Parys Golf and Country Estate and Vaal de Grace Golf Estate in South Africa.
Competing against a strong field of 178 players from several countries around the world, Snow delivered a composed and consistent play over the gruelling 90-hole tournament that featured a cut after 72 holes for the top 65 players to finish tied 21st at 15-under par 345.
Snow, who has featured in many international tour events including the Mena Tour in the Middle East, as well as the Challenge Tour and Asian tours, carded rounds of 68, 68, 67, 72 and 70 to secure a place among the top 25 players and ties, thus earning a Sunshine Tour membership in Category 9 for the 2026/27 season.
This category gives players a higher chance of entry into events, particularly when fields are oversubscribed.
On the final day, Snow opened with a 34 on the front nine, including birdies at the par-four sixth and par-five ninth. Despite back-to-back bogeys at holes 12 and 13, the experienced Snow recovered strongly with birdies at the par-four 17th and par-five 18th to record a strong finish.
“Securing my Sunshine Tour card for the 2026/2027 season is an incredible feeling. It’s something I’ve worked towards for a long time, so there’s a real sense of pride and relief knowing that the hard work has paid off,” said Snow.
At the same time, it’s only the beginning. I see it as an opportunity to compete consistently at a high level, keep improving, and really test myself against some of the best players out there. I’m excited for what’s ahead, grateful for the support around me, and motivated to make the most of this next chapter.”
Snow earned the right to play in the final stage of Q School after finishing fifth in the Sunshine Development Tour East Africa Swing Order of Merit in Kenya.
