'BACK HOME': Grace announces fulltime return to the DP World Tour

Branden Grace, a nine-time DP World Tour champion, officially announced his return to fulltime competition on the DP World Tour for the upcoming season.

The South African star and former world number 10, renowned for holding the record for the lowest single-round score in men’s Major Championship history, a 62 at the 2017 Open Championship, brings a wealth of experience and championship heritage back to the Tour.

The 38-year-old Grace boasts 15 professional victories worldwide, including two PGA Tour titles and landmark wins on the DP World Tour such as the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, the Nedbank Golf Challenge, the Investec SA Open and also the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek.

“Returning to the DP World Tour feels like coming home,” said Grace. “Some of the proudest moments of my career have happened on this Tour, from my four-time win breakthrough season in 2012 to winning the Investec South African Open in front of home fans.

"I am hungrier than ever to compete and write the next chapter of my career on the global stage.”
