Updates to JWO 2024[edit]

Morning Jimmy,

I'm on the Jonsson Workwear team and we recently discovered the Jonsson Workwear Open page you created, we're thrilled that someone took the time to set it up.

We have a few suggested edits and were hoping you would be able to add them to the Jonsson Workwear page on our behalf. I have the additions ready to go - if you're able to assist.

Let me know the next steps if you'd like to proceed, and thank you again for the great work you continue to do in sharing golfing knowledge with the world.

@Stepmill Thanks for your interest. Feel free to send over any info you have, but bear in mind that most information will probably clash against WP:COI; considering it is coming from yourselves as the tournament title sponsor. I can add some detail regarding the 2024 event from third party sources, especially considering Manassero's win gained a decent bit of attraction.

Thank you so much. Here are my suggestions:

The Jonsson Workwear Open is a professional golf tournament hosted by Jonsson Workwear, a workwear business based in South Africa. The Jonsson Workwear Open is currently played on the European Tour and Sunshine Tour as a co-sanctioned event, having previously been played on the Challenge Tour.

The tournament was inaugurated in 2022 as a co-sanctioned event between the Sunshine Tour and Challenge Tour^[1] and was played at the Durban Country Club in KwaZulu-Natal from 24 to 27 February 2022. J. C. Ritchie won the event, shooting 26-under-par, beating Christopher Mivis by six shots.^[2]

The 2023 event was scheduled as a co-sanctioned European Tour and Sunshine Tour event, and was played from 23 – 26 March at The Club at Steyn City, the same venue where the 2022 Steyn City Championship was played.^[3] Nick Bachem won the event, securing his first European Tour title, beating runner-up Hennie du Plessis by four shots.

In 2024, the Jonsson Workwear Open continued its partnership with the Sunshine Tour and the European Tour. The third edition of the tournament took place from 7 to 10 March 2024 at Glendower Golf Club in Edenvale, Gauteng. The 2024 edition of the Jonsson Workwear Open saw in increased coverage going to 490 million households across 170 territories. The[BM1] winner was Matteo Manassero who secured his first win on the European Tour circuit since 2013 with a three-stroke victory on 26 under par.

@Stepmill This doesn’t really seem like an improvement to what is already in the article. Remember we have to reflect what reliable, independent third party sources. This seems focused on promoting the tournament sponsor which is something we are not here to do, as per WP:NOTADVERT. Jimmymci234 (talk) 11:41, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
