The inaugural Q9Golf Super Series World Final will be played in Mauritius after the South African Finalists have been announced.

Q9Golf will appoint an independent team manager for the South African teams at the Q9Golf World Super Series.

On the way to the world finals, the top 3 golfers in each handicap flight (plus one wildcard) proceed from club, to zone, to national and then the Top 3 in each division to the World Super Series based on their Stableford scores. This means that 3 golfers on handicap 0-6 will be one team so winning means champions in your own handicap flights as a team as well as an overall team winner for the six division’s team scores combined.

Every team will wear their own brand designed especially for the championship in a Super Series format. Q9Golf provides sponsored shirts, trousers, socks and blazers. Golf shoes and equipment are excluded.
