Ideal prep
I think the tour is really successful in trying to prepare young players for the next level of tours. From the prize money breakdown to the ranking and regular processes, the tour is very similar to the Sunshine Tour. That’s the biggest sporting advantage of the Big Easy IGT Challenge Tour. – Zander Lombard
