Who's Who Of African Golf

Africa has a rich golfing history, with numerous remarkable champions and administrators, both black and white, contributing to the sport's development across the continent. The continent boasts 25 men's and 4 women's major titles, led by iconic figures like Gary Player, Bobby Locke, Ernie Els, and Nick Price, all of whom have left an indelible mark on the global stage.

While Southern Africa, particularly South Africa, has historically produced many of the continent's elite golfers, notable talents have also emerged from countries outside this region. Golfers from Egypt, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Morocco, Kenya, Tanganyika, and Mozambique have made significant contributions, often flying under the radar compared to their Southern African counterparts.

The sport's development in these regions has been accompanied by the emergence of new champions, signaling a bright future for African golf.
