Welcome to the 2026 Kwagga Golf Tour

We gather on Monday 31 August during a time of a return to the traditional rugby tour and we in turn, honour that tradition with a tour of our own: The 2026 Kwagga Tour. We are here to act as custodians of the great game of golf and pay homage to the Kwagga. What is the Kwagga you might ask? The Kwagga is you, it is me, it is all of us. It is our laughter and our heartache, our hole-outs and our water balls, but most of all our ability to remain LEKKER through birdies and double bogeys alike.

Word of thanks to everyone making the trip from afar - Switzerland, Turkey, and even beyond the Boerewors Curtain: Pretoria. Shoutout to Francois & Burger for arrangements, budgeting, recruiting and bringing it all together.
