Tommy Fleetwood will be determined to become the fourth golfer to win back to back Nedbank Golf Challenge titles.
 
Lee Westwood, Nick Price and David Frost remain the only golfers to have won this tournament back to back since its formation in 1981.
 
Fleetwood won the 2019 Nedbank Golf Challenge as he made three eagles in the final round to win the event for the first time.
 
The Englishman won in a playoff over Marcus Kinhult and the tournament was part of the European Tour's Rolex Series and was co-sanctioned by the Sunshine Tour. 
 
Fleetwood, who finished second at the 2018 US Open and 2019 The Open Championship, has won five times on the European Tour.
 
The Southport-born golfer, 31, clinched his maiden title on the European Tour at the 2013 Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles in Scotland.
 
Fleetwood has since won the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship (twice), HNA Open de France and Nedbank Golf Challenge to establish himself as one of Europe's top golfers.

"I've had some fantastic experiences at the Nedbank Golf Challenge and I can't wait to get back to Sun City," said Fleetwood ahead of this year's event.

"I've been lucky enough to be able to call myself the champion for longer than usual, but I'm certainly looking forward to starting my defence in November.

"It was a great feeling to come through the field on that final day to lift the trophy. Add that to the top ten finish in 2017, which helped me on the way to becoming European Number One, and I certainly have some great memories of the tournament which I would love to replicate."
 
Westwood, Ernie Els, Price and Frost have won the Nedbank Golf Challenge which was formerly known as the Million Dollar Challenge record three times.
