Welcome to the Clash of the Golfing Greats

Mark your calendars, golf fans. The Clash of the Golfing Greats: The Waterfall City Tournament of Champions is back, and it’s set to be more spectacular than ever. From 22 to 25 May 2025, Royal Johannesburg’s East Championship Course will be transformed into a battleground of South Africa’s golfing elite. With professionals from the Sunshine Tour, the Sunshine Ladies Tour, talented amateurs, and inspiring athletes from SADGA (South African Disabled Golf Association), this event is more than a tournament—it’s a celebration of golfing excellence.

Backed by Attacq and Waterfall City Management Company (WCMC), and forming a pivotal part of the Sunshine Tour’s 2025/2026 season, this championship is where future legends are made and current champions are tested. With last year’s heart-pounding finish between Louis Albertse and Waterfall’s own Casandra Alexander still fresh in fans’ minds, 2025 is expected to crank the excitement up a notch.

What Makes This Golf Event So Unique?

This isn’t just a repeat of last year. The 2025 Waterfall City Tournament brings fresh talent, new challenges, and an upgraded spectator experience that promises more fun than ever. Let’s take a closer look.

Champion vs. Champion: A Star-Studded Field

You won’t just see the best—you’ll see all the best. This year’s roster includes:

• Order of Merit winners

• Rookies with a point to prove

• International champions

• Wildcard entries that might just surprise you

The diversity makes for thrilling matchups, each more unpredictable than the last.

The Composite Course Format: More Action in Less Time

Thanks to a smart composite 9-hole setup, fans get double the drama. No matter where you stand, you’re bound to witness heart-stopping drives, impossible chip-ins, and clutch putts. It’s non-stop action across 72 holes of stroke play for professionals and 36 holes of medal play for SADGA stars.

More Than a Tournament – It’s a Family Fiesta

Let’s be real: traditional golf tournaments can be a little... quiet. But not this one! The Spectator Village is built for everyone. From face painting and fun games to golf-themed activities, the little ones are in for a treat. Groove to local musicians, DJs, and performance acts in between watching the next Louis Oosthuizen in action. Expect everything from flame-grilled burgers and wood-fired pizzas to vegan delights and iced lattes. Oh, and yes—there will be bubbly. May in Johannesburg? Sunny, mild, and magical. Just the right climate to watch golf legends rise.

Casandra’s Comeback – Waterfall’s Homegrown Hero

Casandra Alexander isn’t just another competitor—she’s Waterfall City’s brand ambassador. After a dazzling runner-up finish in 2024, all eyes are on her this year. With home-course advantage and fan support behind her, 2025 could very well be her championship moment.

Inclusivity on Display – A Shining Spotlight on SADGA

Sport has the power to unite, and nowhere is that more evident than with the incredible players from SADGA. Their athleticism, precision, and mental toughness are nothing short of inspiring. Come and cheer them on as they compete over 36 holes, showing that golf truly is a game for everyone.
