The ET keeps their season this week in South Africa. Ernie Els is gambling host at the South African Open Championship in Ekurhuleni, that is near Johannesburg.
The SA Open is the second one oldest national Open within the international -- that is the 104th gambling of the occasion! That sounds pretty magnificent to me, given how monetary factors have affected event sponsorships through the years. I'm sure that tying it to Ernie's call will virtually help in that appreciate.
And at the same time as the occasion might not be named after Ernie, his charitable foundations turns into major beneficiaries of the event. According to europeantour.Com:
In addition to the SA Golf Development Board’s Chapter in Ekurhuleni, Els’ two charities, Els for Autism and the Ernie Els & Fancourt Foundation, will become the beneficiary charities of the tournament.According to the site, the tee times haven't been set yet (or at least they haven't been posted). But the event looks to have a pretty good number of the ET's "name" players, given how close to the holidays it is.
Yes, the tours are slowly starting to get back in action. It appears that GC will begin their coverage very early Thursday morning but there are three separate listings for 3am, 5:30am, and 7:30am and NONE of them tell which event they're covering. So I'm not sure if they're all for the South African Open or whether they're replaying some other ET events to fill time. I'm sure they'll make announcements as the week goes on.
