The DP World Tour remains in the continent of Africa for the third week running, with Glendower Golf Club playing host to the Jonsson Workwear Open. Nick Bachem returns to defend his title after he claimed a maiden DP World Tour title at the Jonsson Workwear Open last year. After a slow start to the 2024 Race to Dubai, in which he registered one top 20 in his first eight starts, the 24-year-old is perhaps rediscovering some form after finishing in a tie for fourth at last week’s SDC Championship. Tom McKibbin will also be in the field this week. The Northern Irishman has finished in the top 25 on all five starts he has made since the turn of the year. Most recently claiming a 12T at the SDC Championship last week and finishing 4th at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in February. He’ll be looking to claim his second DP World Tour title having won his first in his rookie season last year. Rikuya Hoshino will also be in South Africa this week. He’ll be looking to find the same form that that won him the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in February. Others to look out for are Dylan Fritelli, Ewen Ferguson and Jordan Smith.
