DP World Tour - Nedbank Golf Challenge

The European tour heads to South Africa, where they will play at the Gary Player course in Sun City. The field features some PGA Tour stars, Max Homa and Justin Thomas, making the trip over.

Tommy Fleetwood is the defending champion for the past two editions and would match South African great Ernie Els with three victories if he can win this week.

Other Ryder Cuppers joining the party in Sun City include Justin Rose, Robert MacIntyre, and Nicolai Hรธjgaard.

The field is limited to 66 players this week and is the last event before the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.

LPGA - The ANNIKA driven

The last event on the LPGA tour calendar before the CME championship takes place in Florida.

Nelly Korda has won the last two years and will look to make it a three-peat at the Pelican Golf Club this year.

In order to get into the LPGA tour championship, players will need to finish inside the top 60 in the CME Globe Points List.

Currently, some players near the cutoff include Madelene Sagstrom (57th), Celine Borge (58th), Albane Valenzuela (59th), Patty Tavatanakit (60th) Sarah Schmelzel (61st), and Lauren Coughlin (62nd) amongst others.

Some other notables sitting outside the current top 60 include Stacy Lewis (83rd), Marina Alex (86th), Mina Harigae (98th), and Lydia Ko (101st).
