“We are absolutely thrilled to host this prestigious event,” said club general manager, Francois Swart, who added that Randpark had hosted two South Africa Opens before, but never a Joburg Open.
“We promise it will be an exceptional tournament, with courses that will offer a true test of golf. We will show everyone true Randpark hospitality.”
Swart said the recent upgrade of the Firethorn Course, and general environment of the three-course club and beautiful clubhouse and hotel, played a role in Randpark’s selection to host the event.
The Joburg Open will also be tri-sanctioned for the first time, by the Sunshine Tour, Asian Tour and European Tour.
The prize money for the event is R16.5 million.
