Betway Big Easy Tour 8<\/strong><\/p>\n

Benoni Lake Golf Club<\/strong><\/p>\n

Benoni, South Africa<\/p>\n

September 21-23, 2026<\/p>\n

Prize fund: R150\u00a0000<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As the initial winner of the Betway Big Easy Tour<\/a>, Jordan Wessels will look to further his points tally behind Wandre Snyman as he prepares to do well in the Big Easy Tour 8 in Benoni this week.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wessels currently occupies second position on the Big Easy Tour standings with 790.31 points after participating in 13 tournaments. The South African faces stiff competition from third-placed Daniel Smith, with the Englishman not far behind with 757.39 points.<\/p>\n

Benoni appears to be a happy hunting ground for Wessels, particularly after he won the Betway Big Easy Tour 1 trophy at the Benoni Country Club in May, finishing -13 to par while Slade Pickering and Brandon Gildenhuys shared second position.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Additionally, Wessels was a star performer at the Big Easy Tour 4 in June where he was pipped by Jacques van der Merwe to first position via a playoff at the Glenvista Country Club.<\/p>\n

Overall, Wessels has claimed six top-10 finishes this year and hopes to increase his R78\u00a0273 career prize money at the Big Easy Tour 8 this week.<\/p>\n

As Wessels continues to showcase his talents as a rising South African golfer, the 21-year-old has recorded 111 Eagles and 114 Birdies in his career so far.<\/p>\n
