“Mr Player has always had a soft spot for the Lost City Golf Course and it’s great that he hosts the Gary Player Invitational there because it gives the golf course the exposure that it deserves. It’s a phenomenal golf course,” Payet said.

“We have two spectacular golf courses at Sun City. From an experience point of view, it allows us as a team here to really blow people away and make sure they go away and tell their friends and family and come back for more.”
