Just days before Bryson DeChambeau competes in his final LIV Golf event of the year, he announced on Monday that he will play at the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa later this year.
DeChambeau posted a video on his social media channels alongside South Africa’s greatest golfer, 90-year-old Gary Player, who serves as the tournament host.
“I am absolutely delighted that Bryson will compete in this year’s Nedbank Golf Challenge,” said Player. “The South African crowds loved watching him play earlier this year, and it is wonderful to welcome him back to our incredible country.”
The Nedbank Golf Challenge will be held from Dec. 3-6 at Gary Player Country Club in the Northwest province of Sun City. Kristoffer Reitan is the defending champion. The tournament is co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour and Sunshine Tour.
“Bryson’s passion, power and commitment to the game continue to inspire fans around the world,” Player continued. “Bryson is a true global champion of golf. I know he will receive a very special welcome at Sun City, and I look forward to seeing how the new and improved Gary Player Country Club challenges his game.”
