Zalatoris Confirmed for Nedbank Golf Challenge Debut at Sun City

The 2024 Nedbank Golf Challenge is coming, and it’s set to be one for the books!

This year, it’s not just about watching the pros tee off; it’s about experiencing the full VIP treatment while witnessing some seriously top-tier golf action.

And let’s not forget, Will Zalatoris—yes, that Zalatoris—is making his big debut at Sun City from December 5-8.

The 28-year-old American sensation is back from injury and ready to show South Africa what he’s got.

Will’s been itching to play this event, especially since a setback kept him out of the 2022 edition. But he’s bounced back with some incredible performances this year, including a strong top-ten finish at The Masters.

And if you followed him at The Genesis Invitational, you’ll know he poured his heart out on that course, even while dealing with a personal loss.

The man’s a fighter, and now he’s bringing that fire to one of the most prestigious tournaments on the DP World Tour.

And Zalatoris couldn’t be more pumped: “I’m thrilled to be heading to South Africa for the Nedbank Golf Challenge,” he said. “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.”You can practically feel his excitement, right?

It’s not just Will we’re excited about, though. Defending champion Max Homa is back to try and keep his title, and there’s a star-studded lineup joining him: Corey Conners from Canada, South Africa’s own Christiaan Bezuidenhout, and Erik van Rooyen, plus Sunshine Tour champ Ryan van Velzen. It’s a seriously stacked field, so expect nothing but high-stakes, nail-biting action over those four days.

If you’re the type who’s thinking, “Golf is cool, but what else is there besides watching the pros?”—relax, they’ve thought of everything.

The Nedbank Golf Challenge isn’t just about the action on the course; it’s a full-blown luxury experience. And this year, the hospitality options are truly next-level.

First up, there’s the brand-new “Hospitali-TEE Lounge.” Think of it as your golf-day oasis, where you can kick back in air-conditioned comfort, chow down on a buffet that’s stocked all day long, and sip on drinks from the open bar while keeping an eye on the action via live coverage.

There’s indoor and outdoor seating, so whether you want to feel the course vibe or cool off inside, you’re sorted.

And to top it off, there’s the chance to meet some of the players, win prizes, and take home exclusive Nedbank Golf Challenge goodies. It’s the ultimate mix of luxury and sport.

But if you want to dial the indulgence up a notch, the “Hospitali-TEE on 18th” is where it’s at.

Picture this: you’re perched right above the 18th green, sipping premium whiskey or wine, watching the final moments of each round unfold below.

You’ll be treated to a gourmet buffet (seriously, the food here is next-level), top-shelf drinks, and some exclusive swag.

And, if you’re feeling competitive yourself, there’s a mini putt-putt tournament to test your skills.

And hey, it doesn’t stop there. If you’re really looking to make this an unforgettable week, you can add on special events like the Welcome Dinner or even join the Beach Party.

Yes, you read that right—golf and beach vibes together. Or if you fancy hitting the greens yourself, the Lost City Golf Course is there to scratch that itch. You’re not just coming to watch the pros—you’re living the full golf lifestyle.
