Background

The inaugural Knight Frank Golf Classic took place on 20 June 2025 at the same venue, Ikoyi Club 1938, marking the firm’s 60th anniversary in Nigeria. That first event featured senior figures from the firm and the wider business community, including the Country Head of Knight Frank Zimbabwe, the former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, and the Global Chairman of Knight Frank LLP. Building on the success of the 2025 edition, Knight Frank intends to make the Golf Classic an annual fixture, providing a consistent platform for client and partner engagement through a shared interest in golf.

Knight Frank Nigeria operates as a member of Knight Frank LLP, a global property consultancy with a history spanning more than 128 years worldwide and 60 years in Nigeria. The firm is headquartered in London and employs over 20,000 staff across 384 offices in 51 territories, advising a range of clients from individual owners to major developers and corporate tenants.

Why it matters

The Golf Classic serves as a networking hub for the firm’s high‑net‑worth clientele and business partners, facilitating relationship‑building in a relaxed sporting environment. Sponsorship by Tatum Bank highlights the event’s commercial relevance and provides the bank with visibility among a targeted audience of senior business figures. By establishing the tournament as an annual event, Knight Frank aims to reinforce its brand presence in Nigeria’s real‑estate and investment sectors, while also supporting the broader goal of fostering long‑term client loyalty.

What happens next

The tournament’s schedule includes a morning tee‑off at 6:30 am, followed by a reception and trophy presentation from 2:00 pm on 29 October.
