History

The first tournament was held from 26 September to 1 October 1892. It was held at Kimberley Golf Club as part of the Kimberley Exhibition. It was entitled the "South African Championship." It was a match play event. Pat Grant was the favorite but was defeated by Denholm Walker in the early rounds. Walker ultimately won the championship, defeating H.J. Mackay 1 up in the finals.[1] The second event was held at Port Elizabeth Golf Course and referred to as the SA Tournament. The format changed from match play to stroke play. D.G. Proudfoot won the tournament. It was his first of many victories in the event.[1]

In recent years the event has usually been held in February.[2][3][4]
