The Nedbank Golf Challenge
at Sun
City was the first tournament ever to offer a first-prize
purse of $1-million. The prize money is now a cool $1.2-million.
The Golf Challenge has consistently attracted a quality
field featuring many of the world's greatest golfers.
The Gary
Player Country Club Golf Course was designed by South
Africa's greatest sportsman of the twentieth century.
It both challenges the players and provides spectators
with good viewing. It is one of the toughest courses
in southern Africa, but it can be tamed.
The huge prize money consistently proves a powerful
enough lure to attract the world's leading players.
Previous participants include Tiger Woods, Ernie Els,
Nick Price, Bernhard Langer, Lee Trevino, Gary Player,
Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros, Colin Montgomerie, Retief
Goosen, David Frost, Ian Woosnam, Mark O'Meara,
Jose Maria Olazabel, Vijay Singh, Phil Mickelson and
Lee Westwood.
