Event Preview
The 2026 DP World Tour kicks off in South Africa this weekend, as the Alfred Dunhill Championship is staged. Players will be competing at the prestigious Royal Johannesburg Golf Club, with a total yardage of 7,656 yards being covered. The stroke play event offers a purse of around $1.5 million.
A number of South African players have previously won their home event, including Oosthuizen and Bezuidenhout since 2020. However, notably, their wins were recorded at Leopard Creek. The Joburg Open has been staged at this weekend’s course, and that could impact the players that have the best chances.
Thriston Lawrence always raises his game for this event, and he should be primed for a bold bid after a strong return to action in last weekend’s event when finishing in a tie for 33rd. The course should suit his chances this weekend, and he has bits and pieces of recent form to suggest that he is overpriced.
Angel Ayora is also a hard player to overlook based on his showing in last weekend’s NedBank Golf Challenge. The Spanish star finished in a tie for eighth after finishing nine-under. He also finished a very eye-catching eighth in the DP World Tour Championship, just four shots off the pace set by Fitzpatrick and McIlroy.
Alfred Dunhill Championship Picks
There is a lot to like about Jayden Schaper’s chances this weekend. He was close to landing the NedBank Golf Challenge last weekend, and his form has been strong throughout much of the second half of the year. This course should suit his chances perfectly, and another strong showing is likely.
