The Club at Steyn City, located just north of Johannesburg, is known globally for its prestigious championship golf course designed by Nicklaus Design. With sweeping fairways, dramatic scenery, and a legacy of hosting professional tournaments, the course will provide the perfect setting for LIV Golf’s debut in Africa and an exciting venue for broadcasters to showcase around the world.
Post-play concerts and engaging fan experiences have become hallmark features of LIV Golf events, creating a unique festival atmosphere at every international stop. South Africa will be no exception, with marquee music entertainment to be announced in the event leadup.
“Bringing LIV Golf to South Africa is another significant moment in our journey,” said Ross Hallett, LIV Golf Executive Vice President, Head of Events. “The country has a proud sporting heritage with passionate fans and world-class talent, and Steyn City will be an incredible host venue to celebrate this next chapter. We currently have events in Asia, Europe, Australasia, North America and today we add Africa, marking another exciting opportunity to showcase LIV Golf to a new audience and market.
“Our league is committed to driving the sport forward through competition, an innovative format, new investment opportunities, and collaborative partnerships that support progress throughout the communities we serve. We are incredibly grateful to have the support of the South African Government and especially the Minister for Sport, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie. Together, I know we will deliver a truly unforgettable experience to fans in Johannesburg, drive economic impact and tourism in the region, and showcase all that South Africa has to offer.”
“It’s always special to compete at home, and I’m incredibly proud to bring LIV Golf to South Africa for the first time,” said Oosthuizen, Captain of Stinger GC. “For Branden, Charl, Dean and I to play in front of our fans, friends, and families will be an unforgettable experience. South African sports fans love their golf, and I am sure they will turn out in large numbers to support Stinger GC. South Africa has given so much to us, and now we get to give something back.”
“We are enormously proud to showcase Johannesburg and South Africa on the global stage, with our world-class lifestyle estate and golf course as shining examples of local excellence,” said Steven Louw, CEO of Steyn City Properties. “We look forward to partnering with LIV Golf, Gauteng government and other stakeholders to share our country’s exceptional golfing experience with the world, and to play a role in advancing the sport we are so passionate about.”
Today’s announcement follows confirmation earlier this week of dates and tickets going on sale for next year’s LIV Golf UK by JCB and LIV Golf Adelaide events, demonstrating the league’s growth and commitment to international expansion. With new and returning venues still to be announced for the 2026 schedule, LIV Golf continues to deliver on its mission to bring innovative, fan-focused events to a growing list of global destinations throughout North America, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, and now Africa. Fans in South Africa can also watch all 14 LIV Golf events live and exclusively on SuperSport, bringing the league’s global stars, and exciting competition directly to millions of homes across the country.
