The 2025 Investec South African Open Championship field is set with the passing of the typical Friday entry deadline. This week's co-sanctioned Sunshine Tour and DP World Tour field is set for this event, played at Durban Country Club in Durban, South Africa.

The Investec South African Open Championship field is headlined by the likes of Dean Burmester, Charl Schwartzel, Haotong Li, Daniel Van Tonder and more.

This is set to be a 144-player field is played out over four days, with this event featuring a mixture of players from the DP World Tour in the 11th event for the 2025 DP World Tour schedule. The Sunshine Tour co-sanctions this event, one of the longest-running national opens in the world.

We do not have 12 open qualifiers for this event on the 2025 DP World Tour schedule.

The week-of alternate list has been determined, and the field will be updated off the list based on any player withdrawals after qualifying is conducted, which could change the alternate list.

The field will be playing for a $1,500,000 purse, with none of the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking among the top contenders.
