LIV Golf's Historic Debut in South Africa: A New Era for African Golf in March 2026

LIV Golf announces its first-ever African event in South Africa, featuring top players like Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel, set for March 2026.

LIV Golf is set to make a groundbreaking entry into Africa with its inaugural event in South Africa from March 20 to March 22, 2026. This historic tournament will take place at Steyn City, marking the beginning of a multiyear partnership between LIV Golf and the South African golf community.

Louis Oosthuizen, the 2010 Open Championship winner and captain of the Stinger GC team, expressed his excitement about the event. "It's always special to compete at home, and I'm incredibly proud to bring LIV Golf to South Africa for the first time," Oosthuizen said. "For Branden, Charl, Dean, and I to play in front of our fans, friends, and families will be an unforgettable experience."

The Stinger GC team, an all-South African squad, includes notable players such as Charl Schwartzel, the 2011 Masters winner, Dean Burmester, and Branden Grace. Their participation is expected to draw significant attention from local and international golf enthusiasts.

South Africa has a rich history in golf, and this event is seen as a way to give back to the community that has produced such talented players. "South African sports fans love their golf, and I am sure they will turn out in large numbers," Oosthuizen added. "South Africa has given so much to us, and now we get to give something back."

The tournament promises to be a major highlight in the 2026 golf calendar, offering fans a unique opportunity to witness world-class golf in a vibrant and passionate setting.
