Harare - The Zimbabwe Open has been relaunched after a nine-year hiatus and is set to regain its place on the South African Sunshine Tour in April.

The championship was removed from the tour's schedules by the South African PGA because foreign currency prize winnings were not paid to their members within a stipulated 21 days following the 2001 event.

Seven Zimbabwe sponsors have now raised the required minimum fund of US$250 000 dollars, mainly due to an improving local economy.

The Zimbabwe Open was first played in 1984 and previous winners include former British Open and PGA champion Nick Price and the Fijian Vijay Singh.
