WPSL Confirms ‘Signature Signing’ of Scott Edkins and Ascot Tours
“I have always believed that the next stage of real scale and global impact would come through alignment with a larger, strategically governed platform.”
Scott Edkins
Ascot Tours CEO
WPSL is proud to welcome Scott Edkins, CEO and majority shareholder of Ascot Tours, in what is rightly regarded as a signature signing at this early stage of the Group’s global consolidation journey. Ascot Tours is widely recognised as a leading authority in golf and safari travel across Africa, with a reputation built on performance, trust, and consistently high-quality delivery over nearly three decades.
What makes Ascot Tours uniquely strategic for WPSL is its position at the top of the supply chain. Ascot Tours operates through a powerful B2B model, currently serving 129 golf tour agencies with leading golf packages across the African region. This is not simply a strong operator joining the Group — this is a distribution gateway that connects WPSL directly to some of the most influential agency owners and decision-makers in global golf travel.
Ascot Tours’ established portfolio already spans cornerstone destinations including Mauritius, Kenya, South Africa and Zimbabwe, while its expansion into emerging territories such as Rwanda, Namibia, Uganda and Tanzania adds a second layer of growth. This blend of mature, high-demand destinations and fast-rising new markets positions Ascot Tours as both a proven commercial engine and a builder of next-generation opportunity.
The strategic logic strengthens further when viewed through the ‘lens of global demand’. The traditional first-world golfing nations will continue to buy African packages from Ascot Tours at scale, but a new wave of golfers is forming in Eastern Europe, parts of Asia and India, where growing interest in experiential golf — including Safari Golf — is creating fresh outbound momentum. Ascot Tours’ credibility and deep destination infrastructure make it a natural supplier of choice as those new markets mature.
In effect, WPSL is now bringing together two powerful forces under one platform:
- Ascot Tours’ trusted product, pricing leverage and agency relationships, and
- the rapid emergence of new outbound golf jurisdictions seeking Africa as a premium experience.
That convergence creates a meaningful multiplier effect on top of Ascot Tours’ already strong existing performance — precisely the kind of strategically layered growth WPSL is building its global thesis around.
Scott Edkins said:
“Ascot Tours has spent nearly three decades helping to shape and grow golf and safari travel across Africa, and I’m proud of what we have built. Yet I have always believed that the next stage of real scale and global impact would come through alignment with a larger, strategically governed platform.
WPSL represents exactly that. It is not only an industry disruptor — it is a consolidation model anchored in a proven business blueprint and an execution mindset with a demonstrable track record. As a CEO, I only commit to initiatives that are built on evidence, performance, and credible leadership.
That is why I am fully aligned with WPSL’s direction. I look forward to combining Ascot Tours’ B2B strength and African destination expertise with the Group’s global vision, helping to accelerate the next phase of growth and deliver meaningful value for every party involved.”
“With Scott Edkins and Ascot Tours now integrated into the WPSL ecosystem, this partnership signals more than strategic expansion — it reflects shared belief, disciplined ambition, and clear momentum.”

Feisal Nahaboo, CEO of WPSL GROUP added:
“Today’s announcement reflects WPSL Group’s ambition to engage, at speed and at scale, with the very best business leaders in golf over a focused and notable period of time. We are galvanising their knowledge, skills and networks into one Group, building an exceptionally strong internal knowledge bank — past and present, unified for everyone’s benefit.
This approach will not only improve organic performance; it will also strengthen each leader personally and commercially by operating as a day-by-day collective rather than as successful but independent businesses that can, at times, feel exposed. There is a saying ‘safety in numbers’. In this case, it is mass safety in numbers — with the right people, the right leaders, and the right shared mission creating that security.”
