Fife golf stars Connor Syme and Calum Hill return in Sun City

After short breaks from competitive DP World Tour golf action, Fife stars Connor Syme and Calum Hill are both returning for their first outings of the 2024-25 season at this week’s Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa.

At a competition where Canadian star Corey Connors holds pre-event favouritism among the bookmakers and is also being contested by USA Ryder Cup star and defending champion Max Homa, Syme and Hill will be looking to get their campaigns off to an impressive start at the Gary Player Country Club in Sun City.

Other favourites in Sun City include local South African stars Thriston Lawrence and Christiaan Bezuidenhout.
