International PGA club teams, comprising one professional and three amateurs, will take to the fairways and greens of five championship courses in a drive to claim the inaugural title.

Event management director, Beverley Theron, said, "The excitement is building as we prepare to welcome international and local PGA clubs to our province for an unforgettable golfing experience both on and off the course. To enhance the warm and friendly KwaZulu-Natal welcome, Durban's famous golden mile will provide a spectacular backdrop during their stay at Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani, who are our accommodation sponsor for the tournament. With the final touches being made to the course logistics and gala events, we are looking forward to an exhilarating week of golf".

Andy Bean of the PGA of South Africa added that a shot at the World Club ProAm title and lucrative prize purse has created a buzz of excitement amongst the players.

"The winning PGA Professional will walk off with US$33 000 in prize money and the winning 4-ball will claim the coveted inaugural World Club ProAm team trophy along with daily prizes and give-aways. The runner-up, third and through to the tenth finishing 4-balls all win permissible prizes. There is also a car up for grabs for a hole-in-one for both professionals and amateurs," concluded Bean.
