The millions that NEDBANK put into this tournament could be put to better use. If they spread it over the rest of the sunshine circuit we would get many more European players playing and thus increase the tour status. Beside that bank charges are a complete rip off and they are using your money to pay the players. Should be boycotted as with all Bank or telecom sponsored events

Firstly, it is a government requirement that all large corporations have some kind of sponsorship scheme, be it in sports or charity or whatever. Yes is has tax benefits, if you will point a finger at that, point one to everyone large corp.

Secondly, most of the sponsoring goes from the Nedbank Sports Affinity, which is peoples CHOICE to have a portion of the service fees go to the sponsoring and maintaining for sports events and sports charity's, just like the Wildlife Fund gives people a CHOICE to have a portion of their service fees go to wildlife options. The Golf Challenge is not entirely funded by the sports fund, it is LARGELY funded by advertising and other things like entrance fees, player fees etc.etc

And Nedbank has often been shown to have lower fees in many transactional environments.

I am interested but need to see closer to the time whether I can get out there for a day. I have never been to the NGC.
