All you need to know about the 2026 Magical Kenya Open

The tournament began in 1967 and has been hosted at both Karen Country Club and Muthaiga Country Club. Both scenic courses offer a unique test for players and a stunning backdrop for fans. What sets these venues apart is their distinctive layouts, which differ from many of the courses regularly seen on the professional circuit. That uniqueness makes the Magical Kenya Open a standout event on the golf calendar.

One notable absence this week was Patrick Reed. The American has been in strong form on the European circuit, with two wins and a runner-up finish in his last three starts. His absence meant the rest of the field had a better opportunity to contend for the title.
