The Sunshine Ladies Tour is a professional golf tour for women based in South Africa.[2]

In 2019, over 40 foreign players, mainly European, competed on the tour.[4]

Also, the winner of the Jabra Ladies Classic earns exemption for the Jabra Ladies Open, the final qualifying event for the Evian Championship.[4]
