Casey Jarvis Wins South African Open for Back-to-Back DP World Tour Titles, Secures Masters and Open Berths

Revised major criteria granting national‑open champions automatic invitations send the 22‑year‑old to Augusta and Royal Birkdale.

Overview

  • Jarvis closed with a 3-under 67 to finish 14-under at Stellenbosch, winning by three shots over Hennie du Plessis, Francesco Laporta and Frederic Lacroix.
  • He posted rounds of 67, 68, a bogey-free 64 on Saturday, and 67, seizing control with three birdies in his first five holes of the final round.
  • Weather interruptions, including a late lightning delay on the 18th tee, did not derail Jarvis as he calmly closed out his home Open.
  • Under updated eligibility rules, the victory delivers starts at the 2026 Masters and The Open; he has played only one prior major, missing the cut at the 2024 U.S. Open.
  • The win follows his Magical Kenya Open triumph, moves him into the world’s top 100 (reported around 80th), brings prize checks of €390,432 and $255,000 over two weeks, and makes him the second South African this season with consecutive DP World Tour wins.
