The Sunshine Tour has confirmed the launch of two new tournaments for the 2021/2022 season, with both due to be co-sanctioned by the European Tour.
The Pecanwood Classic at Pecanwood Golf & Country Club in Gauteng from the 10th to the 13th of March 2022 will be the first of these two new tournaments.

“We’re delighted to welcome Pecanwood Golf & Country Club as the home of the new Pecanwood Classic on our Tour. As South Africa’s first Jack Nicklaus signature golf course, Pecanwood set a new benchmark for golf courses in South Africa when it opened, and we are extremely pleased to finally bring a major international Sunshine Tour and European Tour tournament to its fairways,” said Thomas Abt, Commissioner of the Sunshine Tour. “The Pecanwood Classic will be played in an important window for us in March and gives us a very strong finish to our summer schedule, while at the same time providing our Sunshine Tour professionals with yet another big opportunity to compete for a place on the European Tour.”
The Pecanwood Classic will be followed by the Steyn City Championship – also in Gauteng – from the 17th to the 21st of March 2022.
The addition of the two new events means South Africa now has six tournaments co-sanctioned by the European Tour.
