Since its inception in 2008, the prestigious Africa Open has grown into one of the most prominent tournaments on the annual international golf schedule.

Thanks to the unwavering support of its sponsors, this fully co-sanctioned event between the Sunshine Tour and European Tour has entrenched itself as one of the elite tournaments on the African golfing calendar.

Annually the Africa Open secures the presence of the world’s leading golfers and Major champions in its field. The tournament’s list of past champions includes double US Open champion Retief Goosen, Masters champion Charl Schwartzel and British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen.

In 2012, Oosthuizen became the first golfer in the history of the tournament to retain his title with a magnificent performance at the East London Golf Club.

With a strong field of local and international professionals, the Africa Open brings a feast of world-class golf to the Eastern Cape.

And in 2013, a new champion of Africa will be crowned.
