Experience professional golf tournament action at Steyn City golf venue |
Thursday's finale of the inaugural LIV Golf tournament in South Africa marked a watershed moment for professional golf on the continent, as the sport finally found its footing at the prestigious Club at Steyn City.
The four-day spectacle showcased Bryson DeChambeau claiming victory in dramatic fashion, walking away with $4 million from the tournament's staggering $30 million purse.
Nearly 90,000 spectators flocked to witness what officials are calling one of the biggest golf tournaments South Africa has seen in more than two decades.
The home team Southern Guards GC delivered a thrilling performance, leading by nine shots at one point before ultimately falling short by a single stroke to DeChambeau's Crushers team.
The all-South African squad, featuring Louis Oosthuizen, Dean Burmester, Branden Grace, and Charl Schwartzel, had the entire nation rallying behind them as they competed on home soil.
Building on this overwhelming success, tournament organizers immediately confirmed the event's return for April 22-25, 2027, with early-bird tickets already generating massive interest.
The venue itself proved to be a stunning backdrop, with Steyn City's 2,000-acre parkland estate in Johannesburg's rapidly growing new north providing an unparalleled setting for world-class golf.
This luxury development, where properties command prices between R2.2 million and R60 million, has established itself as one of South Africa's premier residential destinations.
Recent market reports highlight Steyn City's inclusion among Gauteng's multi-billion rand mega developments, underscoring its growing prominence in the region's property landscape.
Property trends for 2026 show security, sustainability and lifestyle taking center stage, with Midrand experiencing rapid growth as families seek its laid-back atmosphere and variety of amenities.
For golf enthusiasts unable to attend in person, all 14 LIV events broadcast live across South Africa, bringing the action directly into millions of homes nationwide.
The world's biggest golf stars will return to Steyn City for four more days of premium entertainment, with signature hospitality options already generating strong demand among discerning fans.
Next year's tournament promises another chance for fans to walk the course alongside Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, experiencing golf in a uniquely South African setting that rivals any venue worldwide. |
