The DMV Invitational Golf tournament started off as a small group of friends meeting annually to catch up and enjoy a good game of golf. The first golf tournament, which would later become the inaugural event, was played by eight participants back in 2012 at Renditions Golf Course in Davidsonville MD. In 2015 it was introduced in the Safari DC calendar and quickly became the marquee tournament of the club. The DMV Invitational was introduced as a National Major in 2016 and it quickly became one of the highly attended golf event among the Kenyans in the diaspora. In 2017 the DMV Invitational broke records and became the biggest golf tournament in North America hosting over 100 players in the two day event.
