ECPTA and PGA Strengthen Partnership to Boost Sports Tourism

ECPTA continues to lift the province’s tourism and investment profile through its four year partnership with the Professional Golfers Association. The PGA Championship at St Francis Links has become a flagship sports tourism platform attracting professional golfers, spectators, media and sponsors.

The PGA has historical roots in the Eastern Cape where it was founded more than a century ago. The Championship showcases the province’s world class golf courses, coastal beauty and hospitality. It contributes to increased tourism activity, local spending and broader provincial visibility. The partnership strengthens the Eastern Cape’s position as a competitive sports tourism destination.
