After making history with a win in his own national open, South Africa’s Dylan Naidoo is hoping to end a breakthrough year with a victory in the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open at La Réserve Golf Links.
Naidoo has confirmed his place in the year-ending event - co-sanctioned by the Sunshine Tour - from 18-21 December, which played a key role in him securing a DP World Tour card this past season.
The South African finished tied second in last year’s AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, and less than three months later he took the confidence from that performance and claimed his maiden DP World Tour title at the Investec South African Open Championship.
He finished last season ranked 56th on the 2025 DP World Tour’s Race to Dubai Rankings to establish his status on the Tour.
“I’m really looking forward to coming back to the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open at La Réserve Golf Links," he said.
"Last year I came second in this tournament and I’d really love to go one better. I love coming to Mauritius. It’s one of my favourite places – the beaches, the culture, the food.
"It’s such a great way to end off the year. I’m really looking forward to it,” said Naidoo.
As much as Naidoo is making inroads on the DP World Tour, La Réserve Golf Links is doing the same on the global scene as one of the most exciting new courses in the game.
La Réserve Golf Links was voted the Indian Ocean’s Best Golf Course at the World Golf Awards in November, while Heritage Le Telfair Golf and Wellness Resort won World’s Best Golf Hotel at the same awards.
