The 2024 Magical Kenya Open is going to take place on February 22 and will conclude on February 25. The tournament will feature 144 players vying for the €1,750,000 prize pool.
Reigning champion Jorge Campillo will not be attending the event in Kenya to defend his title, likely due to his participation in the Mexico Open at Vidanta Vallarta. Nonetheless, the field is still stacked with some of the best talents this week.
