A day of connection
Players received registration goodies sponsored by Tracker and welcome drinks sponsored by Envirosure. Innovation Group South Africa sponsored the golf shirts, Old Mutual Insure provided golf towels, and Lombard Insurance sponsored golf caps.
Played over 18 holes, the event gave players the opportunity to enjoy the course, connect with colleagues and friends, and celebrate the relationships that make the insurance industry such a connected community.
Adding an extra element of excitement was the challenge: Are you brave enough to bet against a pro? South African professional golfer Shawnelle de Lange joined the event, bringing a special highlight to the day on the greens.
The four-balls were supported by Bryte, Camargue, Ctrack, Garrun Group, Guardrisk, Innovation Group, iTOO, Lombard Insurance, OWLS Software, Old Mutual Insure, QSURE, Q LINK and Tracker.

Bringing the industry together

With every swing, conversation and shared laugh, the 2026 event once again demonstrated the value of bringing the industry together.
GWII extends its appreciation to all the sponsors and contributors whose support helped make the day an enjoyable and memorable experience for everyone involved.
