2020–21 Sunshine Tour

The 2020–21 Sunshine Tour is the 21st season of professional golf tournaments since the southern Africa-based Sunshine Tour was relaunched in 2000. The Sunshine Tour represents the highest level of competition for male professional golfers in the region.

The tour is based predominantly in South Africa with other events being held in Eswatini, Zambia, Mauritius and Kenya.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the tour announced a suspension on 16 March.[1] Later, the first two scheduled tournaments, the Investec Royal Swazi Open and the Zambia Open, were postponed.
