Wouter du Toit of Hazyview continued his lascivious collection of Hornbill Classic titles when he won the 2026 edition with Team Wouter at the Kruger Park Lodge Golf Course on Saturday.

Team Wouter garnered an incredible 101 points in the four-ball alliance on Saturday, giving their captain his fourth victory in one of the most popular events on the Lowveld golfing calendar.

Du Toit, who plays off a 16 handicap, was joined by Piet Taljard (15), Paul Lombard (4), and Zak Oosthuizen (18) as they won by three points from Fairbridges and Kranspoort, who began the final round in second and first place respectively.

A mammoth haul of points on the par-five 17th, at which Taljard birdied and Lombard made eagle, was decisive in their victory.

“I’ve played every year in the Hornbill Classic for the last 16 years and it’s all about the friends that you meet here that keeps you coming back,” Du Toit said after his  triumph. “The course is in excellent condition as well and nothing beats playing in this tournament.”

Fairbridges, the team of attorneys (Bok and Max Groeneveld, Conrad Fraser and Sharjah Jonsson) from Cape Town tallied 89 points on Saturday to overtake Kranspoort and claim runners-up honours.

Kranspoort (Theo van Niekerk, Kevin and Kirstin Kemp and Michelle Higgo) scored 87 points on Saturday and finished third.

    Colossians 3:13-14 – “Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have; forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together.”

    “When the Holy Spirit lives in you, you reflect the qualities of Christ in your life. Love and courtesy are basic characteristics of the Christian life. … If Chris lives in you, you will be kind and patient toward others.

    “A person who is truly courteous is humble, … His attitude is the same regardless of whether he is talking to kings or beggars. He treats everyone alike, no matter what race, colour or creed they are. He rejoices in making the path through life easier for others to travel.

    “It is impossible to say that you love and serve God while at the same time treating your neighbour with contempt and disrespect.” – Solly Ozrovech, A Shelter From The Storm
