Sunshine Tour

The Sunshine Tour is a men's professional golf tour based in Southern Africa. For much of its history it was known as the South African tour, but it rebranded itself in an attempt to broaden its appeal. However a large majority of the tour events are still staged in South Africa.

The tour is one of the six leading men's tours which make up the International Federation of PGA Tours, but it offers much less prize money than some of the leading tours, and leading Southern African golfers always prefer to play on the PGA TOUR or the PGA European Tour if they can qualify to do so, typically returning to play in Sunshine Tour events a couple of times a year.

Some of the Tour's more prestigious events are co-sanctioned with the PGA European Tour in order to attract stronger fields.
