“Investec believes strongly that the Investec South African Open should travel around the country as a showcase of South African professional golf, and to allow the majority of South Africans to see and be inspired by this out of the ordinary championship, which has such a proud history,” said Peta Dixon, Investec Head of Sponsorships.
“After being founded in 1974, one of Investec’s first regional offices opened in Cape Town in 1980, so we have a long and proud history in the Western Cape.
"We now have offices in Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Tyger Valley, Knysna and George. We look forward to bringing the Investec South African Open back to Stellenbosch Golf Club for the first time in 26 years.”
Chris van der Merwe, General Manager of Stellenbosch Golf Club, said the club was delighted to welcome the South African Open back to its fairways in the magnificent winelands of the Western Cape.
“We are incredibly honoured to have been selected as the host venue for the 2026 Investec South African Open and look forward to showcasing this prestigious championship as well as the beauty of Stellenbosch and the Cape winelands to a global audience.
“As one of the oldest golf clubs in the Cape, and indeed in South Africa, Stellenbosch Golf Club has hosted some major professional and amateur tournaments over the years and produced some of South Africa’s finest professionals such as Justin Harding, Oliver Bekker, Keenan Davidse, JJ Senekal, and Hennie O’Kennedy.
“We’re looking forward to what will be a wonderful next edition in the proud history of this great championship.”
The South African Open is co-sanctioned by the Sunshine Tour and DP World Tour and forms part of the DP World Tour’s International Swing.
