Speaking at the launch, Estella Muzito, Marketing and Communications Director of Guinness Ghana, emphasised that this initiative had been in the works for some time.

Actually, we are the number one Scotch whisky in the world and our biggest consumers are golfers. The people who can really afford and appreciate this brand are golfers, and while we’ve been partnering with some golf tournaments, we felt the time had come to create something of our own.

The launch event drew several notable personalities, including Retired Captain Prince Kofi Amoabeng, founder of the defunct UT Bank and icon of the Johnny Walker Brand, Mr. Frank Adu Jr., President of the Achimota Golf Club, and Mr. Leonard Kweku Okyere, President of the Ghana Golf Association.

Retired Captain Prince Kofi Amoabeng, a long-time brand icon for Johnnie Walker in Ghana, expressed confidence in the synergy between the sport and the brand.

So I think the two of them actually are in sync as In terms of promoting Johnnie Walker, this is the avenue where we understand it and I think the two sports, the sport of golf and the aim of the drink or what you want to achieve really match each other.
