Dean Burmester is a solid favorite for the South African Open this weekend after routing the field by a three-shot margin in 2023. The 35-year-old brings some solid form from the LIV Tour to South Africa this weekend, after finishing in a tie for fourth in Riyadh and a tie for 12th in Adelaide.

English player Laurie Canter continued his excellent start to the season in Doha at the start of the month, finishing in a tie for 35th at the Qatar Masters. He was also the winner of the Bahrain Championship earlier this year.

Charl Schwartzel is another South African hoping for home success this weekend. The 40-year-old was last in action, taking a share of 12th at the recent LIV Golf event in Adelaide.
