WITH injuries now in the past, American Will Zalatoris, to debut at this years’ Nedbank Golf Challenge.
The 28-year-old PGA Tour champion, will join fellow American and defending champion Max Homa in this DP World Tour event.
It tees off at Sun City, Gary Player Golf Course from December 5 to 8.
In 2022 Zalatoris, had to withdraw from the tourney due to injury; but that has not deterred him to partake this year.
“I’m thrilled to be heading to South Africa for the Nedbank Golf Challenge,” said Zalatoris. “I’ve had amazing experiences playing in DP World Tour tournaments around the globe, and I’m confident South Africa will be just as memorable.”
“I’ve heard a lot about the tournament and its rich history as one of the most prestigious events on the Tour, plus the chance to experience a new country and culture, it’s going to be a great week.”
The 2020-21 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year will tee off at the Gary Player Country Club with a solid year behind him, including a top-ten at The Masters which was the sixth top-ten in 14 starts of his Major Championship career.
The World Number 59 also had two top-five finishes on the PGA TOUR this year – including an emotional second place at The Genesis Invitational where he played with the weight of having lost a family member that week – that carried him to 38th on the FedExCup standings.
Zalatoris, the winner of the 2022 FedEx St Jude Championship, adds to a strong field of international depth which will showcase the global diversity of the DP World Tour through players such as defending champion Homa, Canadian and Presidents Cup International Team member Corey Conners, the South African Olympic duo of Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Erik van Rooyen, and Sunshine Tour Order of Merit delivered by the Courier Guy winner Ryan van Velzen.
Tickets, including hospitality are available.
