The Kenya Savannah Classic was a professional golf tournament that was held 23–26 March 2021 at Karen Country Club in Nairobi, Kenya. The principal sponsor was Absa Bank Limited.[1]
The tournament was intended to be a one-off event and created a two-week "Kenyan swing" with the Magical Kenya Open being played at the same location the week prior.[2]
Daniel van Tonder won the event, defeating Jazz Janewattananond in a playoff to claim his first European Tour victory.[3]
