Gabrielle Venter. Sunshine Ladies Tour The Sunshine Ladies Tour’s latest homegrown champion, 21-year-old Gabrielle Venter, is excited for this week’s ABSA Ladies Invitational at Royal Johannesburg, saying she comes armed with the experience of playing the course regularly as an amateur. “I love that course. I have played there a bunch of times in the SA Amateur. So, I think the same game plan will work. I am just going to stay aggressive and hopefully the putter behaves,” sai

In front of a sold-out South African crowd, Crushers GC Captain Bryson DeChambeau defeated Jon Rahm on the first play-off hole at Steyn City, earning the fifth individual LIV Golf victory of his career. After pulling his drive into the muddy left rough and taking relief from temporary water, DeChambeau produced a moment of pure brilliance - ripping a fairway wood that flew hole-high and settled just 12 feet from the cup for eagle. In the team competition, Southern Guards GC c

Bryson DeChambeau came to LIV Golf South Africa wanting to entertain new fans and help grow the game in a country he had never previously visited. The Crushers GC captain finished the week achieving his goals while sweeping both trophies – even if it meant breaking the hearts of the locals that embraced him as one of their own. DeChambeau defeated Legion XIII Captain Jon Rahm on the first play-off hole to win his second consecutive LIV Golf individual title via playoff while

A dream setup awaits for Sunday’s final round of LIV Golf South Africa, both in the team and individual competitions – and the home favorites Southern Guards GC hope to turn both opportunities into storybook results at The Club at Steyn City. The all-South African roster will take a two-shot lead on the team leaderboard after shooting a collective 26-under in the third round, with Branden Grace and Louis Oosthuizen each shooting 7-under 64s while Dean Burmester and Charl Schw

Gabrielle Venter Sunshine Ladies Tour South Africa’s Gabrielle Venter birdied her final two holes of regulation play and then beat Norway’s Madelene Stavnar in a play-off to win the Platinum Ladies Open at Blair Atholl Golf and Equestrian Estate on Friday. After her strong finish to close with a 66 and tie Stavnar for the lead on 16-under par following the Norwegian’s final round of 68, Venter carried that momentum into the play-off and birdied the first hole to win and claim

The home favorite Southern Guards GC will enter the weekend in position to sweep both trophies in LIV Golf’s first visit to South Africa, but a crowded leaderboard is equally determined to deny their storybook result. The Southern Guards are second on the team leaderboard through two rounds at LIV Golf South Africa, two shots behind Torque GC. Meanwhile, the club’s best player through 36 holes, Branden Grace, is tied for second individually, two shots behind leader Bryson DeC

Madelene Stavnar.

The best placed South African after the second day is

It was a dream start for the home team in Round 1 of LIV Golf South Africa. Southern Guards GC set the early pace in front of an energetic South African crowd to race out to a score of 18-under, one shot ahead of Smash GC and two shots ahead of Crushers GC. The Southern Guards were led by Branden Grace, who shot a 7-under 64 with only one bogey on his scorecard. “It's amazing,” said Grace about playing in front of the home fans. “This is what we hoped for.

Louisa Carlbom. Sunshine Ladies Tour Sweden’s Louisa Carlbom made her intentions clear during Wednesday’s incomplete opening round of the Platinum Ladies Open at Blair Atholl Golf and Equestrian Estate with a phenomenal round of 10-under par 62 for the clubhouse lead. Carlbom made it into the clubhouse before lightning suspended play. The first round will resume on Thursday morning. “It’s definitely one of my best rounds of golf. I’ve had a round of seven-under before but nev

Daniel Cronje will take a slim one-stroke lead into the third and final round of the Betway Big Easy Tour Final, after a near-perfect second round of 64 took his tournament total to 14-under par at Waterkloof Golf Club. His opening 66 was a solid round by any standard, but Cronje was left with a fair amount of disappointment heading into moving day. “It was good,” said Cronje of his second round 64. “I was frustrated after yesterday’s finish, so it was nice to come out hot th

The goal, of course, is to celebrate a trophy – or perhaps two – on Sunday. But from Louis Oosthuizen ’s perspective, his Southern Guards GC team has already posted a victory simply by bringing LIV Golf to their home country. Oosthuizen, captain of the all-South African club, joined LIV Golf in 2022 as one of its original members and has been pushing ever since to host a tournament, confident that his sport-loving countrymen would embrace the opportunity to see the league’s m

Oliver Goldhill carded a bogey-free 11-under 61 to lead by four shots after Tuesday’s first round of the Betway Big Easy Tour Final held at Waterkloof Golf Club. “I think I kept it somewhat steady off the tee,” said Goldhill after his superb outing. “I made the putts I needed to make. But, I think my approach game was really solid today. I hit them really close and I didn’t need much to make birdie putts because it wasn’t like they were too far and I rolled the ball on the ri

The Southern Guards GC versus Ripper GC rivalry is set to heat up as the Southern Guards will host the first-ever LIV Golf event on the continent of Africa. The Southern Hemisphere showdown between the all-South African team and all-Australian team has thus far been one-sided, with Ripper having won six times as a team on LIV Golf to the Southern Guards’ three.
