Nashua has further strengthened its six year partnership with the Sunshine Tour and Sun International with the announcement of increased prize money for the Nashua Masters and the addition of a new 'Winter Swing' event on the 2007 calendar.
The Nashua Masters is steeped in history, and, together with the South African Airways Open and the Telkom PGA Championships, remains one of the "Big Three" titles most coveted by professionals.
Increasing the prize fund to R1,2 million underlines the significance of the event and continues its legacy as one of the most prestigious events on Sunshine Tour's golf calendar.
The Sunshine Tour's leading lights will face the challenging par-70 layout from February 1 - 4at the Wild Coast Sun Country Club, a Robert Trent Jones Jnr design that ranked number eight in South Africa in 2006 and has been home to the Nashua Masters since 2001.
In addition to the increased prize fund is the news that Nashua will , in collaboration with Sun International, sponsor a new event on the 2007 calendar at Sun City, home to Africa's major, the Nedbank Golf Challenge and the Sunshine Tour's Dimension Data Pro-Am, which celebrates its 12th year on the Sunshine Tour's Summer Swing this season.
The newly announced R500 000 Nashua Challenge marks the first full Order of Merit event to be staged at the Lost City Golf Course on the 'Winter Swing'.
