This week promises an exciting double dose of golfing action with the concurrent staging of the 2023 Joburg Open and the 2023 Fortinet Australian PGA Championship. The Joburg Open, set against the backdrop of the picturesque Houghton Golf Club in Johannesburg, South Africa, is poised to host a competitive 156-player field vying for the coveted top prize.
Among the notable contenders are defending champion Dan Bradbury, Thriston Lawrence, and Aaron Cockerill, each bringing their A-game to the challenging course. Noteworthy is the absence of some European Tour regulars who opted to skip the Joburg Open following the season-closing DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, adding an intriguing element to the lineup and opening the door for emerging talents to make their mark on the tournament.
