When Sunshine Tour professional Jacquin Hess opened his email on Friday morning, there was a sense of relief when he read about the financial aid programme the tour has instituted for its professionals and registered caddies during the Covid-19 lockdown

When his fiancée saw the figure Hess would receive as a monthly stipend commensurate with his Sunshine Tour category for the months of April and May, she smiled broadly.

The tour will pay a monthly stipend to its member professionals on a scale according to their various categories of membership for this month and next month. The Women’s Professional Golf Association, in partnership with the Sunshine Ladies Tour, announced a similar financial programme for the top 25 South African professionals on the Sunshine Ladies Tour.

As a player currently outside the top 100 on the Sunshine Tour’s Official Order of Merit, Hess said the positive side of this lockdown had been the time he’d had to plan for a return into that top 100 and fully exempt status on the tour.As much as Hess is grateful for the financial aid he’s receiving, he’s in no doubt that the tour caddies will need it even more.
