Today we honour the life of a man who stood behind the All Structures Langebaan Ryder Cup from the very beginning — Ettienne Claasen.
Ettienne wasn’t just a supporter; he was a pillar of belief, strength and vision. He backed this tournament when it was only an idea, and because of his passion, dedication and heart, it grew into what it is today.
His legacy lives in every tee shot, every handshake, every moment shared on and off the course. Ettienne, you will always be remembered for what you’ve done for this tournament, for our players, and for the community around it.
Gone too soon, but never forgotten.
Thank you for everything, Ettienne. 🙏💛
