Beloved South African professional golfer John Bland, who won 36 titles in a celebrated career, passed away shortly after 6am on Tuesday 9 May 2023.

Bland (77) passed away in a hospital in George after a battle with cancer, with his family and his bulldog Handsome by his side.

Bland began his professional career in 1969 and was one of the leading golfers and most loved figures on the Sunshine Tour and international circuit for decades.

In 1977 Bland beat Player to win the South African PGA Championship. He also won the Sunshine Tour’s Order of Merit title four times.

Bland was a two-time winner on the DP World Tour (European Tour) and achieved a career-high ranking of 48th on the Official World Golf Ranking.

Bland’s senior golf career was equally impressive as he won five times on the PGA Tour Champions and three times on the Legends Tour.

They don’t make them like this man anymore.
A giant of South African golf.
On the other side of that hill is where Mr John Bland now has all of the answers we’re still searching for. 🙏❤️
