The stakes could not be higher as the Nedbank Golf Challenge celebrates its 40th edition at Sun City this November, and with SunBet commemorating this historic milestone by providing golf fans with an even greater variety of betting options for “Africa’s Major”.
The official sports betting partner of the Nedbank Golf Challenge, to be played from November 10-13 at the Gary Player Country Club, will be offering better odds and more markets at this year’s tournament as world golf welcomes the return of this event for the first time since 2019 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The 40th edition has drawn a strong field including recent DP World Tour winners Ryan Fox, Robert MacIntyre and Guido Migliozzi as well as defending champion and two-time Ryder Cup star Tommy Fleetwood, South African DP World Tour winners Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Dean Burmester and Thriston Lawrence, and European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald.
“As Sun International’s premier online gaming and sports betting platform, we’re delighted to be the official betting partner to an event of this magnitude. It’s been a few years since the last event due to Covid, so for our customers to experience the thrill of attending and betting on a world-class event with some of the very best international and local players at a marvellous venue is momentous and somewhat overdue,” said Simon Gregory, SunBet General Manager.
This year punters can look forward to an abundance of betting markets that will include the unique “Best Round Of The Day” market as well as the “Wire to Wire” (leading from start to finish) market.
SunBet’s other betting markets on offer include:
· Best Score
· Any Player to score a Birdie or better
· Most Birdies
· Most Eagles
· Most Pars
· Most Double Bogeys
Golf fans will once again have the luxury of quick and easy betting online at www.sunbet.co.za during the week of the Nedbank Golf Challenge.
Placing a bet is as easy as registering an account, making a deposit and picking a winner.
This year, SunBet will offer an interactive VR experience and world-class entertainment at the SunBet Marquee, giving fans and punters the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the excitement of the sport and event.
“The excitement is not limited to those who are lucky enough to attend the tournament. Our online offering for the Nedbank Golf Challenge has improved significantly over the years and this year is no different. Exciting pre-tournament and live betting options will elevate your experience at the Nedbank Golf Challenge no matter where you are,” said Gregory.
Apart from the golf, SunBet also offers online and over-the-counter bets (available at Time Square Casino at Menlyn Maine, Carnival City, GrandWest Casino and Golden Valley Casino) on a variety of sports including rugby, soccer, tennis, cricket, horse racing, boxing and the recently launched live casino and tables games as well as very popular online SLOTS.
SunBet offers over 100 000 Live-in-Play events annually as well as Action Bets that enable punters to bet on decisive moments such as the next point, scoring method or throw-in while an event is live. These bets are available for a very short timeframe with bets resulted within 90 seconds. SunBet also features a cash-out option that allows the punter to take an early payout on selected bets before an event has concluded, affording them the opportunity of minimising risk and claiming a profit.
All Sun MVG members have the opportunity of linking their SunBet accounts with their MVG cards, with each online bet struck at SunBet counting towards their Sun MVG balance.
