The ABSA Ladies Invitational is a women's professional golf tournament held in Johannesburg, South Africa. It has been an event on the Southern Africa-based Sunshine Ladies Tour since 2024.[1][2]
History
[edit | edit source]The inaugural tournament in 2024 was held at Serengeti Golf and Wildlife Estate in Kempton Park, and won by Casandra Alexander four strokes ahead of Harang Lee. The title sponsor, Absa Group, was formerly known as the Amalgamated Banks of South Africa.[3]
In 2025, the tournament moved to Royal Johannesburg & Kensington Golf Club. Thalia Martin of England secured her maiden professional victory at the event, as Madelene Stavnar from Norway double-bogeyed the 18th hole to finish on nine under par tied for second with Scotland's Laura Beveridge and France's Anne-Charlotte Mora, who shot a final round 63.[4]
