The entry list for the European Tour’s Volvo Golf Champions event – to be held at The Links, Fancourt, George, from 19-22 January – was confirmed on Sunday.
Only players with wins on the Tour in 2011 are invited, along with those who have accumulated more than 10 wins in their careers.
Defending champion Paul Casey withdrew on Friday due to a shoulder injury sustained during the festive break.
The local support will not be disappointed with Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, Hennie Otto, Charl Schwartzel, Garth Mulroy, Louis Oosthuizen and Thomas Aiken to support, with viewing pleasure further heightened by golfing legends such as Padraig Harrington, Colin Montgomerie, Darren Clarke, Colin Montgomerie and Jose Maria Olazabal.
