Defending Champion Brandon Stone will tee it up with Robert Karlsson and Bryce Easton when the Alfred Dunhill Championship begins at Leopard Creek on Thursday.
The South African won the tournament in December 2016 to claim his second title on Tour and will begin his defence at 7:40am alongside 11-time tour winner Robert Karlsson and the Sunshine Tour’s Easton.

South African legend Ernie Els will play with fellow countrymen Trevor Immelman and Richard Sterne in a 12:30pm tee time. Both Els and Sterne have won this tournament previously, in 2005 and 2008 respectively.
Last week’s South African Open champion, Louis Oosthuizen, will be hoping to win back-to-back and will begin alongside Pablo Larrazábal and Erik Van Rooyen at 7:20am.
Matt Wallace, who won three times on Tour last season, begins at 7:30am in the company of 2015 Alfred Dunhill Championship winner Branden Grace and recent Afrasia Bank Mauritius Open champion Kurt Kitayama.
