Seve went on to take the title two years later in 1983 and became the first person to win it twice, successfully defending in 1984. That inaugural 1981 edition saw Johny Miller get the better of Seve Ballesteros in a playoff in a field that included Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Lee Trevino. It became a Sunshine Tour event in 2006 – by which time the field size had risen to twelve – and earned a further upgrade in status in 2013, when it became a part of the DP World Tour schedule at which point the fields increased to thirty participants and have been sixty-plus since 2016. The Nedbank Golf Challenge started off life as the Nedbank Million Dollar Challenge in 1981 - an unofficial and exclusive five-man stroke play event. The tournament provides a final chance for players to position themselves well inside that top 50 on the Race to Dubai, that will get them into the season-ending DP World Tour Championship next week. This week, the DP World Tour reaches its penultimate event of the 2022/23 season, as we head to Gary Player Country Club at Sun City in South Africa, for the 41 st edition of the Nedbank Golf Challenge. ![]()
