2022 Nedbank Golf Challenge: Schedule, prize money and field 

The DP World Tour is back with the Nedbank Golf Challenge. The penultimate event of the calendar year will be held from Thursday, November 10 to Sunday, Nov. 13. The European Tour golfers are currently at Gary Player Country Club in Sun City, South Africa for the event.

The Nedbank Golf Challenge returns this weekend to celebrate its 40th anniversary on the DP World Tour. The event, which features two of the world’s top 50 players, will see some of the lower-ranked players making big moves ahead of the season’s big closing at the DP World Tour Championship next week in Dubai.

Nedbank Golf Challenge 2022 field

Unlike the more popular events on the European Tour, the Nedbank Golf Challenge will only have two of the world’s top 50 on the field. Defending champion Tommy Fleetwood will come into the event as the favorite.

Currently 13th in the DP World Tour Rankings, the Englishman will look to make the most of the opportunity ahead of the season finale. However, Fleetwood will face competition from Ryan Fox. The New Zealander is the closest to the English golfer on the Official World Golf Rankings.

Having won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and finished fourth in the Mallorca Open last month, Fox will look to carry forward his form. The two golfers seem to have little to no competition from the rest of the field.
