Jonsson Workwear has elevated its partnership with the Sunshine Tour as this year’s Jonsson Workwear Open (JWO) becomes a DP World Tour co-sanctioned event. The tournament will tee off at the iconic Steyn City from 23 – 26 March 2023, leading a field of local & international professional golf players to compete for an increased prize of $1.5 million. The workwear & apparel brand leader prides itself in hosting this sporting extravaganza which forms part of the Sunshine Tour’s lucrative start to the 2023 season and the DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai.

As a joint venture between South Africa's Sunshine Tour and the European Challenge Tour, the inaugural event took place last year at the Durban Country Club (DCC) which is undergoing renovations, following the devastating floods which took place in April 2022. JC Ritchie won the first incarnation of this tournament, having notched an impressive hole-in-one, and set a 54-hole Challenge Tour record score of 25-under along the way.
