More than 200 golfers are set to compete in the 2025 edition of the PMC Sensitive Golf League, which returns with revamped structures and the inclusion of professional categories kicking off on Saturday, October 18 at Kigali Golf Resort & Villas.
The PMC (Piga Mingi Crew) golf tournament was initially founded by a group of Rwandan golf enthusiasts who were often on the losing side of local competitions. They came together to create a friendly tournament where players could compete and have a chance to win prizes.
Ten years now, the tournament has grown in popularity and participation, evolving into one of Rwanda’s most anticipated golf events. This year, organisers have expanded it further, making it open to all interested golfers raising the total number of competitors to more than 200.
One of the ambitious development made is the recent partnership deal which saw Sensitive Group Ltd become the main sponsor of the tournament. Under the deal, the tournament rebranded to Sensitive PMC Golf League.

Wilson Mugwema, the CEO of Sensitive Group, said the new partnership marks a new era of the of the tournament.
"The PMC Sensitive Golf League has come a long way. We want it to be recognized not just in Rwanda but across the region. This year, we’ve introduced a professional category to allow elite golfers to compete, while amateurs will continue to take part as well,” Mugwema said.
"The goal is to elevate the game by showcasing local golfing talent and attracting more investors into the sport,” he added.
While the partnership promises to greatly benefit development of Rwandan golf, Kigali Golf Club captain, Eugene Murenjekha said the tournament will only grow bigger and much more competitive.
"Having a strong sponsor like Sensitive Group will help the tournament grow and attract more players, including young golfers who are the future of the game,” he said.
The PMC Sensitive Golf League will take place in several rounds throughout the year, culminating with the final on December 6.
