GARY PLAYER INVITATIONAL

A PREMIER CHARITY GOLF EVENT IN SOUTH AFRICA

Golf icon Gary Player is a giant when it comes to charity golf events in South Africa. He has extended himself beyond the realm of greens and golf, with his success allowing him to lend a helping hand to millions of children through The Player Foundation. The Gary Player Invitational is a global charity fundraiser. The series is presented by Black Knight International and The Player Foundation, and aims to raise $100 million for charity.
The Gary Player Invitational presented by Coca-Cola is played a little differently than conventional golf tournaments. The emhpasis is on Golf and Giving with the goal of raising as much money for charity as possible, and the golf is played in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Teams comprise two top business people, a celebrity and a professional golfer. Each team competes in the 36-hole tournament, with each member contributing to the final result. The team with the best score is declared the winner. The fact that one of the amateurs could be the player to make the winning putt makes it one of the most unique charity golf events in South Africa.
What is truly impressive about The Player Foundation is that through its various initiatives, including one of the most prestigious charity golf events in South Africa, it has already raised $63 million towards its target. Now in its 18th year, the South African leg of the Gary Player Invitational 2024 will be taking place at Sun City and will be played on the award-winning Lost City Golf Course, designed by Gary Player.
