Tommy Fleetwood poses for a photo with the Nedbank Golf Challenge Trophy after victory during the fourth round of the Nedbank Golf Challenge hosted by Gary Player at the Gary Player CC on November 17, 2019 in Sun City, South Africa.The Covid-19 pandemic has claimed another victim with the Nedbank Golf Challenge declared out of bounds this year.
“This was a very difficult decision for us to make but it’s one we are taking in the best interests of the tournament and all those involved in it‚” said Mike Brown‚ chief executive of Nedbank Group. “As such‚ together with our partners at Sun International and the European Tour‚ we have taken the decision to postpone the 40th anniversary until 2021 when it can hopefully be celebrated in the manner golf fans have been accustomed to seeing at the NGC.”
“This has been an unprecedented time for all of us in golf and in the hospitality industry. As we now slowly emerge from the restrictions that we have had to adhere to‚ we agree that it is prudent to postpone what is a flagship event for us and Sun City to a time when we can do it full justice and maintain the very high standards we have always set for this event since 1981.”
