Published on November 7th, 2016 9:05 pm EST
The Nedbank Golf Challenge, which is hosted by Gary Player, is set to get underway later this week in Sun City, South Africa. The event will run from November 10th until November 13th.

The Nedbank Golf Challenge will be broadcast in many different countries across the world and includes some of the world's top professionals, including Henrik Stenson.

Stenson, who is currently the #9 ranked player in the world, is favoured to win the tournament by a wide margin. Stenson will be entering this tournament in fine form, as he finished in second place in the recently completed World Golf Championships, collecting a total of $787,000 in the process.

The 2016 season was a great one for Stenson, as he finished with nearly $3.4 million in total prize money, including a victory (The Open Championship) and a second place finish (Shell Houston Open).
