The 2023 Joburg Open field and players rankings explored 

The 2023 Joburg Open will be played parallel to the 2023 Fortinet Australian PGA Championship this week. The two events are set to tee off on Thursday, November 23. The Joburg Open, being played at the Houghton Golf Club in Johannesburg, South Africa, will see a 156-player field compete for the top prize.

The Joburg Open is co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour and Sunshine Tour. Owing to this, the event will feature a mixture of players from the two circuits. However, unlike the Australian PGA Championship, the South African event will not have any of the top-50 OWGR-ranked players in its field.

The event will have a prize purse of R20,500,000 (around $1.1m), raised from last year’s purse of R17,500,000 (approximately $1m). The golfers will be eyeing the winner’s check of $190,000 and the $200,000 bonus on offer.

2023 Joburg Open field

The Joburg Open field will be headlined by defending champion Dan Bradbury, Thriston Lawrence and Aaron Cockerill. Since it comes on the back of the season-closing DP World Tour Championship at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, several of the European Tour regulars decided to sit out the weekend.

Interestingly, the event features some names from LIV Golf. Charl Schwartzel, Branden Grace and Dean Burmester from the Saudi-backed series will be at the event.
