SuperSport will officially live broadcast the upcoming Sunshine Tour and Sunshine Ladies Tour events, starting in March.
The local calendar is set to get under way next month and golf fans across South Africa will now have the rare opportunity of seeing some of the best talents in action.
SuperSport’s coverage will consist of three hours daily content for a minimum of two rounds per event. Highlights packages will also be made available, which will go on to DStv Catch Up and all SuperSport platforms.

SuperSport has always been unwavering in its support of the Tour and shares our vision to enhance the entertainment value of our brand and give fans a greater insight into the lives of our professionals and we’re very pleased to be able to work with them towards achieving this goal.’
