The 2005–06 Sunshine Tour was the sixth season of professional golf tournaments since the southern Africa based Sunshine Tour was rebranded in 2000. The Sunshine Tour represents the highest level of competition for male professional golfers in the region.
As in the previous year, there were 21 tournaments on the schedule. The Royal Swazi Sun Classic was last held in 2004, and the Telkom PGA Pro-Am was added in 2005. The tour was based predominantly in South Africa, with 18 of the 21 tournaments being held in the country. One event each was held in Botswana, Swaziland and Namibia. Two tournaments, the Alfred Dunhill Championship and the South African Airways Open were co-sanctioned by the European Tour.
The Order of Merit was won for the second straight time by Charl Schwartzel.
Schedule
The table below shows schedule of events for the 2005–06 Sunshine Tour. As usual, the tour consisted of two distinct parts, commonly referred to as the "Summer Swing" and "Winter Swing". Tournaments held during the Summer Swing generally had much higher prize funds, attracted stronger fields, and were the only tournaments on the tour to carry world ranking points.
Prize funds shown did not count directly towards the Order of Merit. The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of official money Sunshine Tour events he had won up to and including that tournament. This information is only shown for Sunshine Tour members.
