We’re delighted to announce that former number one South African amateur Jonathan Broomhead has chosen Abbotswood to guide his fledgling career on the DP World Tour.
After a hugely successful debut season on the Sunshine Tour, the former South African Stroke Play champion and four-time victor on his native pro tour, Durban-born, 25-year-old Jono has made an early impact on the 2026 southern hemisphere leg of European golf’s flagship tour, with three top 40 finishes from just five starts.
Jono exemplifies the Abbotswood philosophy of nurturing prodigious early talent and we look forward to helping him on his journey and trail-blazing upward trajectory. We’re confident that he will join Erik Van Rooyen in the current top ten SA world ranked golfers during the 2026 season. Click here for more info about our exciting new player.
“McKibbin’s move represents a calculated risk, a lucrative leap into a rapidly evolving golf landscape. With growing confidence and promising performances, he could yet prove that for emerging talents, the unconventional path holds the greatest potential.”
McKibbin wasted no time making his presence felt. He tied for 15th in his debut at Riyadh, helping Legion XIII to a team victory, followed by a T7 finish in Adelaide. By then, he ranked 13th in individual points - only Rahm ranked higher among his teammates.
More recently, he’s entered a solid rhythm with consecutive top finishes -
T5 in Dallas and T4 at Andalucía, raising his confidence as the season reaches its climax.
