DP World Tour’s 2024 SDC Championship: Full field and player rankings explored

After a successful Kenya Open outing, the DP World Tour now travels to South Africa for the 2024 SDC Championship. The European tour event is set to tee off at the St. Francis Links in Eastern Cape, South Africa, on Thursday, February 29. The four-day event, continuing the circuit’s African continent run, will feature a 144-player field.

The SDC Championship will have some DP World Tour regulars on its roster. Much like the Kenya Open, the weekend event will be headlined by the likes of World No. 89 Thriston Lawrence and No. 81 Rikuya Hoshino. World No. 119 Antoine Rozner, World No. 121 Adrian Otaegui, and World No. 131 Ewen Ferguson. Reigning champion Matthew Baldwin will also return to defend his title this weekend.

It is pertinent to note that the DP World Tour event will not feature any player from the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking. However, it will have several South African golfers on its field.

For the unversed, the SDC Championship has one of the smallest prize purses on the 2024 European Tour schedule. The event will see golfers competing for a $1,500,000 prize purse, $1,000,000 less than the last four tournaments. The champion golfer will bag the winner’s paycheck of $255,000, while the runner-up will settle for $165,000.
