Global golf phenomenon LIV Golf is officially teeing off on South African soil in 2026, and tickets are now available to get in early. From 20–22 March 2026, the highly anticipated tournament will take place at the prestigious Steyn City in Johannesburg, marking the league’s first-ever event on the African continent and the latest step in LIV’s international expansion.

The exclusive early bird ticket window is now open at LIVGolf.com/southafrica2026, with three-day Grounds Passes and Club 54 Hospitality Tickets up for grabs. Expect more than just world-class golf with event organisers promising big-name post-play concerts, a festival atmosphere, and family-friendly entertainment over three action-packed days.

Johannesburg will be home turf for Stinger GC, LIV’s all-South African team led by major winner Louis Oosthuizen, alongside Charl Schwartzel, Dean Burmester, and Branden Grace. The hometown advantage will be real as the boys take on a star-studded field of 54 global heavyweights, including Bryson DeChambeau, Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm, and Cam Smith.

The event also promises a proper South African flavour, from entertainment to hospitality, plus a seriously stunning backdrop. Steyn City’s championship course, designed by Nicklaus Design, offers dramatic scenery and top-tier facilities just north of Joburg. And with Dinokeng Game Reserve only an hour away, international visitors can catch the Big 5 between rounds.

LIV Golf has made a name for itself by shaking up the sport, combining team and individual formats with live music, immersive experiences, and a vibrant, youth-driven approach to what golf can be. With Johannesburg now on the calendar, Africa officially joins the party.

As Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie put it, “No LIV event will be anything like this one.” With concerts, international stars, home-grown heroes, and a whole vibe, this is shaping up to be the most exciting golf event South Africa has ever hosted.

Snag your tickets now and get ready for an unforgettable long weekend at LIV Golf South Africa in March 2026.
