Golf-Australia, South Africa launch new European season (Reuters)

LONDON, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Less than two weeks after Henrik Stenson bagged a $1.25 million bonus for finishing top of the money list, a new European Tour season will start on Thursday with simultaneous events in Australia and South Africa.

The Australian PGA Championship will be held on the Gold Coast in Queensland while the Alfred Dunhill Championship takes place in Malelane, on the border of the Kruger Park game reserve.

The full schedule for the season has yet to be released but there is likely to be almost 50 tournaments before the campaign ends at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai next November.
