With Absa’s ongoing support, the Sunshine Ladies Tour has become a key driver in elevating women’s golf in South Africa, offering visibility, recognition and a space where excellence can thrive.

Elevating women’s golf in South Africa

Women’s golf in South Africa is experiencing a steady and exciting rise, with the Sunshine Ladies Tour playing a central role in that momentum. As a leading professional women’s golf tournament, it attracts both local and international players who compete at the highest level while inspiring the next generation of athletes.

The tour creates critical development pathways for emerging golfers, offering them exposure, competitive experience and the chance to build sustainable careers in the sport. By expanding access and visibility, the Sunshine Ladies Tour is helping reshape perceptions of women’s golf in Africa, positioning it as a dynamic and competitive space that continues to evolve.

More than a tournament: Golf meets culture and lifestyle

The Absa Ladies Invitational offers more than just world-class golf. It brings together sport, culture and lifestyle in a way that feels fresh and inclusive. At the heart of this experience is the House of Absa, where guests can enjoy curated activations that blend networking, beauty and social connection.

This approach redefines golf as a modern lifestyle sport. Spectators are invited to engage beyond the fairways, creating a vibrant atmosphere that welcomes both seasoned golf fans and newcomers. It is a space where community and experience matter just as much as competition.

Absa’s role in advancing women in sport

Absa’s partnership with the Absa Sunshine Ladies Tour reflects a deep commitment to empowering women and creating inclusive opportunities across sport and business. Through purpose-driven sponsorship, we continue to invest in platforms that elevate women’s achievements and unlock potential.

This commitment goes beyond visibility. It is about building environments where women can thrive, compete and lead.

Force for Good: Turning performance into community impact

One of the most meaningful aspects of the tournament is our Force for Good initiative. For every birdie scored during the competition, Absa will donate R1 000 towards community vegetable gardens.

This initiative connects performance on the course with tangible social impact, supporting food security and local economic development. It transforms each moment of excellence into something that extends far beyond the game, demonstrating how sport can contribute to real change in communities.
