Daniel Gibhard, the CEO of the Skills Development Corporation (SDC), tees off the SDC Championship at St Francis Links on Thursday.
This is the second year of the SDC Championship as a Sunshine Tour and DP World Tour co-sanctioned tournament and extends the company’s involvement in professional golf, which also includes the SDC Open as a Sunshine Tour and European Challenge Tour event.
“I think sport is the epitome of development. It’s a foundation phase in anything going forward. And golf is the closest thing to life. You have your good and bad days, your ups and downs, your shots into the wind and with the wind. And you always have to adapt. For us as a company, we are always willing and know how to adapt and that’s part of our success,” Gibhard said.
“We always viewed our involvement with the Sunshine Tour, European Challenge Tour and DP World Tour as a long-term investment. The growth in stature of both of our tournaments is proof of our partnership coming to fruition now. I’m proud of what we have achieved, and what we will achieve in the future.”
