History
The tournament was first played in March 2019 with prize money of R 1,500,000. J. C. Ritchie won the event on the first hole of a playoff with Steve Surry. [1] The second edition was played in early 2020. It was co-sanctioned with the Challenge Tour and had increased prize money of US$ 250,000 (R3,500,000). Because of the large field, a second venue, Koro Creek Bushveld Golf Estate, was used for the first two rounds. Ritchie retained the title in 2020, beating Wilco Nienaber by two strokes. [2] The 2021 event was played at Euphoria in April and was again co-sanctioned with the Challenge Tour with prize money of R3,000,000. It was won in a four-man playoff by Brandon Stone, who made a birdie at the first extra hole. [3] The 2022 event was again co-sanctioned by the Challenge Tour, with Mateusz Gradecki winning by three shots ahead of Hennie du Plessis. [4]
In 2023, the event was not part of the Challenge Tour schedule and was a sole-sanctioned Sunshine Tour event. Ryan van Velzen won the title, with the tournament being shortened to 54 holes due to rain. [5] [6] The event returned for the final time in 2024, again as a sole-sanctioned Sunshine Tour event. Deon Germishuys won the title by two shots over Jacques Blaauw. [7]
