Are you familiar with the changes to the Rules of Golf for 2019...?

First Rory Sabbatini skips off to Slovakia, now Louis Oosthuizen is playing for Pakistan!

Expect to see RORY SABBATINI at 2020 Olympics in Tokyo – but not under a South African flag. Durban-born 42-y/o became a Slovakian citizen last week! 6-time PGA Tour champ also won 2003 World Cup of Golf for SA (with Trevor Immelman) is married to Slovakian Martina Stofanikova.

A promise made. A promise kept 🖊 #TeamEurope
