A major new exhibition amateur golf tournament is heading to South African shores this December. The inaugural Icons Cup South Africa will take place at the exclusive Links at Fancourt in George, bringing together legends across various sporting codes to battle it out on the fairways.
Featuring a high-stakes, team-versus-team match-play format, the event pits Team South Africa against Team World in the event which will be held from December 11 to 13. Once all the players are confirmed, a total of 28 players will be in action at the tournament.
Team South Africa will be captained by four-time Major champion Ernie Els. Early additions to the host nation’s squad include Proteas cricket legend AB de Villiers and Springbok Rugby World Cup winner Fourie du Preez.
“Leading Team South Africa on home soil at a magnificent venue like Fancourt is a massive honour,” said Els. “We know Team World is bringing serious firepower, but we are assembling a squad of true South African winners. AB de Villiers and Fourie du Preez are perfect first additions—they are fierce competitors who know exactly what it means to defend home turf. We’re ready to show the world how we play the game.”
Team World will be led by Spanish golf icon José María Olazábal, who has already recruited West Indies cricket great Brian Lara and former England football captain John Terry.
“South Africa has an incredibly rich sporting heritage, and Fancourt is a magnificent, world-class test of golf,” Olazábal noted. “But Team World is not travelling to George to enjoy the scenery. Ernie is a fantastic champion, and he will have a passionate home crowd behind him, but I am assembling a team of icons. We will be fiercely competitive, we know how to win under pressure, and we are fully prepared to spoil the home-soil party this December.”
More players will be announced in due course.
