The Englishman is no stranger to the challenging Gary Player Country Club in the Pilanesberg or South Africa for that matter as he will be teeing it up at the prestigious tournament for a ninth time.

The former world number one Donald will captain Europe in the Ryder Cup again next year. In 2023 he successfully led Europe to a 16½-11½ victory against the United States in the Ryder Cup in Italy.

Other international players that have already confirmed their participation thus far for the 2024 event are the PGA Tour Will Zalatoris (USA) and Corey Conners (Canada), as well as the DP World Tour stars and the twins Nicolai and Rasmus Højgaard of Denmark. Nicolai was the runner-up to Homa in 2023.
