CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South Africa's Sunshine Tour has created a fund for players and caddies to provide financial assistance for the next two months, but commissioner Selwyn Nathan said the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic could take the game back 20 years.

Leading players on the men's and ladies tour, as well as caddies, will be given an unspecified stipend in April and May to make up for the postponement of tournaments.
