The Nedbank Golf Challenge enters a new era this week, but Henrik Stenson will be hoping nothing much has changed as he returns to action for the first time since becoming European number one.
Previously limited to 12 players, the Nedbank has been expanded to a 30-man field and officially features on the European Tour for the first time in its 33-year history.
“The majors are the next step for me,” said Stenson at the Gary Player Country Club.
“I’ve won great tournaments and I’ve pretty much achieved everything in the game that I want to, except for winning a major.
“I’m 37, so I’m looking at a good three, four, five years ahead of me if I can stay healthy, to try and win one of the big ones.
“I must keep on working on my game and following up on a great season. There are a couple of traps and I think expectation is one of them.
“Another is handling my time, it will be key to look after those areas.”
