LIV Golf today announced the dates for LIV Golf South Africa 2027, confirming its return to the region next year.
The event will take place from 22 – 25 April 2027 and once again be hosted at The Club at Steyn City as it builds on the more than 100,000 fans welcomed to this week’s debut event, marking the highest attended professional golf event in South African history.
The announcement was made ahead of Sunday morning’s final round during a press conference with South Africa Minister of Sport, Art and Culture Gayton McKenzie, LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil, Southern Guards GC General Manager Richard Glover representing the South African home team, and Steyn City Properties CEO, Steven Louw.
LIV Golf South Africa has quickly established itself as a flagship event on the LIV Golf calendar, with capacity crowds taking in the event’s first three days at Steyn City. The world-class competition and entertainment continues today with a marquee leaderboard and headline concert acts including St. Lucia and GoldFish for the fourth day of globally-acclaimed entertainment.
Scott O’Neil, LIV Golf CEO, said: “Our return to South Africa in 2027 is a proud moment for LIV Golf. The success of this week’s inaugural event reaffirmed what we’ve long known — South Africa is home to a vibrant golf culture, world‑class talent, and fans whose passion elevates the game. I want to thank Minister McKenzie, Southern Guards GC, Steyn City, and all our partners who brought this vision to life. LIV Golf South Africa has quickly established itself as a marquee event on our global schedule, delivering real economic impact and meaningful community engagement. The market has embraced LIV Golf with undeniable passion and will be a cornerstone for us for years to come.”
Gayton McKenzie, Minister for Sport, Arts and Culture in South Africa said: “The success of LIV Golf South Africa this week is a powerful demonstration of what our country can deliver on the global stage. Hosting an event of this calibre not only showcases South Africa’s world-class sporting infrastructure, but also highlights the strength of our tourism, hospitality, and creative industries. This is about more than golf, it’s about economic opportunity, job creation and inspiring the next generation of South African athletes. We are proud to welcome LIV Golf back to Steyn City in 2027 as we continue to position South Africa as a premier destination for international sport and entertainment.”
Steven Louw, Steyn City Properties CEO said: “To host the inaugural league event on African soil and take it forward to 2027 is both an honour and a milestone of real significance for Steyn City. Being part of the shared vision that Africa is integral to the league’s global standing, reinforces our commitment to developing a world-class lifestyle estate and our belief that South Africa belongs on the international stage of premier sport and entertainment.”
Richard Glover, Southern Guards GC General Manager said: “Seeing LIV Golf come to South Africa this week has been incredibly special for our team. The energy from the fans and the atmosphere at Steyn City have shown just how passionate this country is about world-class golf. As Southern Guards, having the opportunity to compete in front of a home crowd means a great deal to everyone involved with the team. It’s a proud moment to see LIV Golf establish South Africa as a key stop on the global schedule, and we’re excited to continue building that connection with fans when the event returns in 2027.”
