The KCM Golf Challenge is a major professional golf tournament on the Sunshine Tour held in Zambia. Sponsored by Konkola Copper Mines (KCM), the 72-hole stroke play event takes place at the historic Nchanga Golf Club in Chingola and features a substantial $150,000 investment from the mining company. Beyond professional golf, the tournament emphasizes youth and community development. KCM’s investment heavily supports junior golf clinics and brings together major stakeholders like the Zambia Golf Union (ZGU) to promote local sports engagement. The championship serves as a key pillar in the region's sporting and social calendar, alongside the broader KCM Marathon. The tournament concluded with South African Samuel Simpson claiming the championship title. He won with a score of 18-under par, finishing just one shot clear of a four-way tie for second place. The event featured the fourth hole-in-one of the Sunshine Tour season when Christiaan Burke aced the 150-meter, par-3 ninth hole with a pitching wedge.
