Friday, September 26, 2025 | 90 Views |

Rising golf star, Loapi Chokwe, continues to excel on the course after joining an elite group of 77 African women on the World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR) this week. Chokwe is ranked number 3,268, having achieved some remarkable milestones that earned her the grade.

The 19-year-old, who currently trains at Balderstone Sport Institute in South Africa, is the first Motswana female golfer to meet the demanding standards of the WAGR.
