Nedbank Challenge Past Winners
First played in 1981 as an exclusive big-money invitational once known as the million-dollar challenge, the Nedbank Golf Challenge has grown into a flagship DP World Tour event named in honour of Gary Player. Its roll of honour mixes multiple-winner records with major champions from around the world and a strong South African thread. This history is evergreen; current-year results sit in the sportsbook.
The multiple-winner records
Nick Price, Ernie Els and Lee Westwood are each three-time winners of the event, the standout records on the roll of honour. Those repeat victories reflect how a familiar Sun City layout and a limited elite field can reward course form, which is a useful frame when you weigh up the markets. Names matter less than the pattern: strong players who know the venue tend to feature.
A roll of honour with a South African thread
Past champions include Seve Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer, Nick Faldo, Jim Furyk, Sergio Garcia, Henrik Stenson and Martin Kaymer, alongside South Africans Retief Goosen and Trevor Immelman and the multiple winner Ernie Els. The home thread is strong, which fits the local interest the event draws. For the other big South African event, see the SA Open, or browse the full golf betting card.
