The Gary and Vivienne Player Invitational has been postponed as a result of the recent international travel restrictions placed upon South Africa.

This was confirmed by the Sunshine Tour and the Gary and Vivienne Player Foundation on Thursday.

The charity tournament was scheduled to be played at The Lost City Golf Course at Sun City from 22-23 January as a tribute to the life and legacy of the late Vivienne Player, featuring a field of 20 Sunshine Tour professionals, celebrities, sports stars and business leaders all raising money for the Blair Atholl Pre-Primary School.

“Regrettably, due to the recent international travel restrictions, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the inaugural Gary and Vivienne Player Invitational,” said Gary Player. “We are working with the Sunshine Tour on finding the best possible date to host this special event, in honour of my dearest Vivienne.”
