What is the Race to Pezula?
The series was born from a partnership between Standard Bank and Pezula Championship Course, and is a one-of-akind event which comprises a series of four qualifying tournaments, leading up to the final where 16 players will compete for the ultimate title of Champions of the Race to Pezula.
The series is played between June and September, giving participants four chances to qualify for the finals and be crowned champions. At the finals, all accommodation, golf and food will be paid for as part of the prize.
Each tournament in the series is a separate two-day competition, with the first day a "fun" competition giving golfers a chance to play the course and practise for the main event on day two.
Only the results on the second day qualify participants for the finals, with the two pairings who place first and second in the qualifying competition progressing to the finals held on 18 November.
The format for the main event on day two is a betterball Stableford, while there is a four-ball alliance on day one. The whole tournament offers wonderful prizes, food and entertainment, including the chance to win R100 000 for a hole-in-one.
