The Sunshine Ladies Tour is a professional golf tour for women based in Southern Africa.[2]

Since the inaugural 2014 season, tournaments have averaged around ten per season and been concentrated in the January–March window.[3] Sponsors have included Investec, Jabra, Dimension Data, Sun International, SuperSport, Canon, the municipalities of Joburg, Cape Town and Ray Nkonyeni and Serengeti Estates. In 2019, over 40 foreign players competed on the tour.[4]

The Ladies European Tour co-sanctions the flagship Investec South African Women's Open, and the champion receives a tournament winner's category exemption on the Ladies European Tour, as well as exemption into the two of the five majors held in Europe, the Women's British Open and the Evian Championship.[4]
