2021–22 Sunshine Tour


The 2021–22 Sunshine Tour was the 51st season of the Sunshine Tour, the main professional golf tour in South Africa since it was formed in 1971.

In-season changes

In January 2021, the schedule was again disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic as several tournaments scheduled for early in the year were postponed by a month or more, with the season restarting in March. Among the tournaments affected were three co-sanctioned events with the Challenge Tour.

European Tour partnership

The season marked the start of a partnership between the Sunshine Tour and the European Tour. As part of the agreement, the top three players on the Sunshine Tour Order of Merit gained status to play on the European Tour for the following season.
