The Alfred Dunhill Championship, a key event in the DP World Tour’s Opening Swing, will take place this week from 12-15 December 2024 at Leopard Creek Country Club, situated on the border of Kruger National Park, South Africa.
With a prize fund of €1.5 million, this prestigious tournament will serve as the penultimate fixture in the five-tournament Opening Swing, which offers enhanced prize money and exemptions for its champions. These events are part of the 2025 Race to Dubai and play a vital role in providing South African professionals with global competitive opportunities.
The partnership between the DP World Tour and the Sunshine Tour is integral to the success of these Global Swings, creating a significant pathway for South African golfers to thrive both locally and internationally.
This year’s edition once again has a stellar field, including Charl Schwartzel, who is seeking a record fifth Alfred Dunhill Championship title, alongside his LIV Golf teammate and defending champion Louis Oosthuizen.
Other notable competitors include eight of the last 13 champions of the event, such as Ockie Strydom, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, and Pablo Larrazabal, as well as prominent PGA Tour members in Erik van Rooyen and Dylan Frittelli. Rising star Aldrich Potgieter, who recently earned his PGA Tour card, will also compete, alongside the 20-year-old Chinese debutant Wenyi Ding. Additionally, Altin van der Merwe, who made history by winning the inaugural Africa Amateur Championship in 2024, will return to Leopard Creek as a professional.
Golfers in the 2024 Alfred Dunhill Championship will compete for prize money of €1.5 million (approximately R26.8 million). Check back here on Sunday for full listings.
