The other Indians competing this week are Pranavi Urs, who was T-14 in New South Wales, rookie Avani Prashanth, who has made the cut in all three starts and Tvesa Malik, who has to her name a win on the Sunshine Ladies Tour in the past. Defending champion Chiara Tamburlini will be back in Johannesburg hoping to replicate what was a breakthrough moment of her 2024 season. The Swiss won her maiden LET title at this tournament last year. The Modderfontein Golf Course, which is hosting the tournament for the fourth year in a row, is home to what is considered a challenging course known for its numerous water hazards, which feature on more than half the holes on the card. As many as 132 players, including 38 LET winners, will compete this week. The field also includes England's Cara Gainer, who leads the Order of Merit following four tournaments of the LET 2025 season. The 72-hole stroke play competition will see a cut to the top 60 professionals and ties after 36 holes.
