Sunday Odegha, Nigeria’s number one golfer, says he will soon be signing up for the Sunshine Tour in South Africa but will joggle his Nigerian schedules with it.
Odegha made the disclosure in a statement on Friday in Lagos.
He added that his current form would be better appreciated when in a more challenging task.
He said the Sunshine Tour was the logical place to be as it would enable him to maintain his current form and also improve on his game at the same time.
Odegha said: “The challenge of being on top of your form is not getting to the club but keeping the form and even improving, when everybody thinks you are already good.
“I will be joggling between the Nigerian Tour and the Sunshine Tour.
“The first reason is that as the best player last season in Nigeria, there is an opening for me to pick an associate member of the Sunshine Tour.
“Again, with my present form, I need to be where my game will be constantly honed, challenged and keep making progress.”
Odegha said that though he hoped to feature in some of the winter schedules of the Sunshine Tour, he was not in a hurry to appear in South Africa earlier than February.
The golfer said he would complete some documentation he still needed to clear in January.
He said: “Apart from documentation that I am working on now, I am also looking to see if I can be part of the opening event on the Nigerian Tour too.”
Odegha, who topped the Nigeria’s Order of Merit for the second time since turning professional in 2003, said he hopes to better his performance this year.
Five top Nigerian players from the previous year’s order of merit automatically qualified for associate membership of the Sunshine Tour.
The collaboration was borne out of membership between the Professional Golfers’ Association of Nigeria Tour and its South African counterpart.
