The Kenya Open returns to Karen Country Club this week and a top class field tees it up in Nairobi bidding for DP World Tour success.
Jacques Kryswijk is back to defend his title after a two-stroke victory over John Parry in 2025.
These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend.
Angel Ayora
Angel Ayora has been playing well since the beginning of the new DP World Tour season, placing T8 at the Nedbank Golf Challenge, T46 at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, T21 at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, T13 at the Dubai Invitational, T26 at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, MC at the Bahrain Championship and T5 at the recent Qatar Masters.
Other noteworthy results achieved by Ayora last year include a T11 at the Soudal Open, a T19 at the KLM Open, a T7 at the Italian Open, a T13 at the Betfred British Masters, a T8 at the Omega European Masters, a T5 at the Amgen Irish Open, a T5 at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, a T9 at the Open de Espana, a T7 at the Genesis Championship, a T9 at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship and a T8 at the DP World Tour Championship.
The Spaniard finished T20 overall at the 2025 Magical Kenya Open on debut.
Ayora has not been far off securing his maiden DP World Tour title and could pocket the winner's cheque come Sunday.
