Christiaan Bezuidenhout will be back at the Gary Player Country Club at Sun City to defend his SA Open title that carries a prize fund of US$1.5m (R22m) between December 2 and 5.
Bezuidenhout, who is fresh from securing his PGA Tour card, will be joined in the North West by fellow PGA Tour campaigner Dylan Frittelli and the field will also include European Tour champions Dean Burmester, Justin Harding and George Coetzee.
Ongoing Covid-19 restrictions mean the Nedbank Golf Challenge can again not be played this year but Nedbank and Sun International have agreed to continue their support of the SA Open. “They have always been important in our quest to create the best opportunities for SA professionals. As our national Open, the SA Open has also always represented a key moment of opportunity for the country's golfers to take their careers to the next level, and now even more so.”
“GolfRSA and the SA Golf Association, who are custodians of the SA Open, are extremely proud of the legacy of the Open and the fact that it continues to be seen as one of world golf’s most historic tournaments.”
