"I am delighted that this prestigious event was named in my honour by South Africa’s ambassador of golf, Gary Player. It was also gratifying for me to learn that this tournament, which started out as a conversation between Gary and myself during a luncheon some years ago, was not just idle chatter between two senior citizens!"
These now immortal words of Nelson Mandela epitomize much of what this tournament is all about: two of South Africa’s icons have come together to make a difference in the lives of South African children, using golf as the vehicle and having fun while doing it.
