The SunDev East Africa Swing event at Ruiru Sports Club is part of the Sunshine Development Tour – East Africa Swing, a professional and elite amateur golf series designed to develop golfing talent across East Africa. The tournament is organized under the Sunshine Development Tour, an extension of the Sunshine Tour which aims to provide a high-level competitive platform for golfers in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi.
