As the golfing year around the world nears a close, some of the Tours around the world are coming to a climax, especially the DP World Tour, Asian Tour, Ladies European Tour and Champions Tour.
The DP World Tour travels to Sun City this week for the penultimate tournament on the 2022 – 2023 DP World Tour season. A strong field has been assembled including Ryan Fox (NZ), currently second in the DP World Tour Rankings and winner of the 2022 Ras Al Khaimah Classic, where he cruised to a five-stroke victory at Al Hamra Golf Club, Ras Al Khaimah.
