NELSON MANDELA CHAMPIONSHIP NOW STARTING NEXT WEDNESDAY
NEWS RELEASE FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR
The
Nelson Mandela Championship presented by ISPS Handa at Durban’s Mount
Edgecombe Country Club will go ahead next week as planned, but will
start a day earlier on Wednesday, December 11 and finish on Saturday,
December
14.
In
recognition of the national period of mourning for the passing of
former President Mr Nelson Mandela, provision will be made for observing
the day of the state funeral for Mr Mandela which will take place on
Sunday,
December 15.
This
is during the originally scheduled playing days (from Thursday,
December 12 - Sunday, December 15), so the tournament will start a day
early, and in that way, the four rounds can be completed by the
scheduled
close of the event.
The
tournament with its unique trophy will again be co-sanctioned by The
European and Sunshine Tours and will be the fourth of seven
co-sanctioned events between the two governing bodies on The 2014 Race
to Dubai.
As
with the inaugural event last year, won by Scotland’s Scott Jamieson,
the tournament will honour Mr Mandela’s on-going charity work through
the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund.
