    Race to Dubai leader Tommy Fleetwood will look to add more points to his tally this week as the three-time European Tour winner travels to Sun City just 134, 839 points clear of his closest rival in Justin Rose.

    Fleetwood closed with a round of 68 to finish ten shots back in a share of 23rd place last week, with the 2017 Race to Dubai now poised for a fascinating finale after Rose’s back-to-back victories in China and Turkey.

    Defending champion Noren – a Rolex Series winner already this year at the BMW PGA Championship – adds to the star-studded field in South Africa which includes players currently in fifth to ninth position in the Race to Dubai Rankings – Tyrrell Hatton, Ross Fisher, Rafa Cabrera Bello, Noren himself and Francesco Molinari.

    Padraig Harrington finished outright fourth last week in Turkey for his best result of the 2017 season and joins a group of four Major winners in the field for the US$7.5 million tournament with Louis Oosthuizen (2010 Open Championship), Charl Schwartzel (2011 Masters) and Martin Kaymer (2010 US PGA Championship and 2014 US Open).
