Biography

Christiaan is a representative of the Western Cape's Metropolitan Golf Club, but was born and raised in the Strand region of the Cape. He progressed solidly as an amateur and began to forge a notable career for himself. In 2006, he was rewarded for his consistent golf and was selected for South Africa to compete at the Eisenhower Trophy.

The following year, Basson turned pro, and it has paid off richly for him. Basson only had to wait two years for his maiden Sunshine Tour win as he clinched the 2009 Coca Cola Charity Championship. In 2012, he proved this was no fluke as he won the Investec Royal Swazi Open. Christiaan has more than 60 top 10 finishes to his credit and has amassed over R7 million in prize money.
