GOLFING NEWS - Sergio Garcia is set to return to the Nedbank Golf Challenge hosted by Gary Player for the first time since 2013 - the penultimate Rolex Series event on the European Tour’s Race to Dubai - when he joins the field this November.
The Spaniard is a two-time winner of the prestigious tournament, with those victories in 2001 and 2003 coming prior to it becoming an officially sanctioned European Tour event, while his most recent appearance at the Gary Player Country Club five years ago yielded a runner-up finish.
The 38-year-old has since become a Major champion, following his momentous victory at the 2017 Masters Tournament - one of three European Tour titles to his name in a career-defining campaign last year.
Garcia’s last visit to Sun City was a thrilling one for the South African spectators, as he made an almighty front-nine charge on the final day to move right into the mix – six birdies including four in a row before the turn took him out in 30.
