Christiaan Burke.

Burke’s second round of 66 on Friday lifted him to 15-under par and still well on track towards claiming a maiden Sunshine Tour title. He is one stroke clear of Tyran Snyders

As the final AAGT event of 2025, the tournament carried extra significance with season-long honours on the line and the crowning of our season’s Order of Merit champio

Herman Loubser. It’s rare that two brothers find themselves as winners on the Sunshine Tour in the same season. But that was the case this year for the Loubser brothers – albeit in different areas of the game. In August, Herman Loubser won the Vodacom Origins of Golf at Parys Golf & Country Estate. Then in November, younger brother Conrad Loubser caddied for Casey Jarvis when he won The Hyundai Open at the Ebotse Links. And both brothers are in action again this week in the V

Deon Germishuys. Tyrone Winfield/Sunshine Tour Deon Germishuys will take a one-shot lead into a Saturday at the Stella Artois Players Championship at Randpark Golf Club that will test the resolve of every professional in the field.

Karabo Mokoena. Tyrone Winfield/Sunshine Tour Karabo Mokoena was so focused during his 62 in Thursday’s opening round of the Stella Artois Players Championship at Randpark Golf Club that it took some time for his incredible performance to sink in. Mokoena's round of eight birdies, an eagle and one bogey earned him a two-stroke lead over a group of five players. “I’m only realising now that it was a good round. I checked the leaderboard and no-one has managed to match the scor

Van der Merwe started the final round at nine-under par and

Andre Van Zyl weaved together a brilliant six-under-par 66 on day two of the Betway Big Easy Tour’s ninth event, getting his overall total to 10-under while pulling a shot clear of the field at Krugersdorp Golf Club. Wednesday’s second round produced some exciting golf, with players jostling for positions ahead of Thursday’s final round. Among those players was Van Zyl, who seemed to have found something he liked around this parkland layout. Following a solid start of four-un

Heinrich Bruiners. Tyrone Winfield/Sunshine Tour When Heinrich Bruiners sees his name on the Stella Artois Players Championship trophy as the defending champion at Randpark Golf Club this week, it’s going to remind him of something he’s spent the past year and seven months trying to rediscover. Bruiners’ victory in this event last year when it was played at Dainfern was the second of his Sunshine Tour career but his first over 72 holes. That alone was a huge mental breakthrou

Rowan Lester.
