2025 Nedbank Golf Challenge
DP World Tour, Sunshine Tour
Gary Player Country Club
Sun City, South Africa
4-7 December 2025
Victor Hovland is set to tee off at the Nedbank Cup Challenge for the first time and headlines the field as the highest-ranked player in the world at No. 13.
The Norwegian only took part in nine DP World Tour events during the 2025 season and finished 34th in the Race to Dubai rankings after going without a win.
However, Hovland was part of the European Ryder Cup team that claimed a famous victory at Bethpage in September, although he was forced to withdraw due to a neck injury on the final day.
The 28-year-old featured more heavily on the PGA Tour and claimed the seventh title of his career at the Valspar Championship in March, the first of three top-10 finishes, with two more coming on the DP World Tour.
Hovland is relishing the occasion in Sun City to honour the legendary Gary Player and will be hoping to his name to the illustrious list of winners.
"I'm excited to tee it up at the Nedbank Golf Challenge for the first time this December. I've had a lot of cool experiences at DP World Tour events around the world, and I'm looking forward to adding this one to the list," he said.
"It's an event that has a lot of history, a great list of winners and, of course, in honour of Gary Player, so I'm sure it will be a great week."
Last five Nedbank Golf Challenge winners:
2024 - Johannes Veerman (USA)
2023 - Max Homa (USA)
2022 - Tommy Fleetwood (ENG)
2019 - Tommy Fleetwood (ENG)
