The 2021 Joburg Open has been reduced to 54 holes over concerns related to the spike in Covid-19 cases that have accompanied the emergence of a new variant of the virus in SA, and to allow foreign competitors time to return to their countries.

Sunshine Tour

The Sunshine Tour said the decision to scale back the tournament was taken to allow foreign competitors time to return to their countries. “The decision was taken to help facilitate their safe return and give them an extra day to make travel arrangements. “Round two of the Joburg Open will resume at 6.30am on Saturday morning, with the third and final round then due to start at 9.30am on Saturday at the earliest. The third round will be a two-tee start with players grouped in three-balls.”
