A two-day yearly tournament sponsored by Toyota (Nigeria) Limited ( TNL), this 15th edition will tee off on November 9 with the professionals opening the fray by 7:00 a.m., while the amateur men and ladies will take to the enduring topography of the Smokin Hills also at 7:00 a.m. the next day.
According to the sponsors of the tournament, TNL, the hole 13 has a N5 million prize and other mouth-watering goodies for the best.
