Bubba Watson
The double Masters champion will make his debut in the Nedbank Golf Challenge in honour of Gary Player.
The winner of the 2012 and 2014 Masters and former world number two seeks to add to the impressive American influence in the Nedbank Golf Challenge, which started with Johnny Miller’s victory in the inaugural event in 1981 and includes champions such as Raymond Floyd, Corey Pavin, Jim Furyk, Max Homa and most recently Johannes Veerman.
His victory in the 2012 Masters came at the expense of South African Louis Oosthuizen, who Watson beat with a miracle shot in the playoff.
Watson is a 12-time winner on the PGA Tour, as well as having been a member of a professional golf “Boy Band” with fellow pros Ben Crane, Rickie Fowler and Hunter Mahan.
