roster

Louis Oosthuizen (RSA, captain)

Louis Oosthuizen added his name to the long and proud list of South African Major winners in 2010, when he won The Open Championship at St Andrews.

With one of the smoothest swings in the game and an intense competitive streak, it is surprising he has not added to that total. Oosthuizen has finished as a runner-up in all four Majors, including The Open when it returned to St Andrews in 2015.

Charl Schwartzel (RSA)

Schwartzel is assured of his place in the LIV Golf history books thanks to his victory at the inaugural event in London in 2022.

He has been playing alongside his team skipper Oosthuizen since 2000, when they teamed up in the Eisenhower Trophy. Like his captain, Schwartzel is a Major winner thanks to his extraordinary late run in the Masters in 2011 that carried him to the top of the leaderboard on a day when no fewer than eight men led at some point.

Dean Burmester (RSA)

Burmester has been part of the team since early 2023, when he took a call from Oosthuizen that changed his career.

He finished a promising 14th in the overall standings in that debut season, then – possibly helped by a busy winter competing in South Africa – started the 2024 LIV Golf season fast and won in Miami, beating Sergio Garcia in a playoff.

The Zimbabwe native added another LIV title in 2025 with a victory in Chicago, this time in a three-way playoff. Burmester collected three other top-five finishes that season to place fifth in the season-long individual standings, his best year to date.

Branden Grace (RSA)

Grace followed hard on the heels of Schwartzel by becoming a LIV Golf winner in the second event of 2022, in Portland. That was the start of an impressive streak that saw him finish runner-up to Dustin Johnson in the overall standings.

He followed that up with ninth place in the season-long table in 2023, helped by three visits to the podium. His 51st place in 2024 was partly explicable by his wrist injury; Grace’s enduring quality fully justified Oosthuizen’s decision to keep him in the lineup for 2025.

The Pretoria native made history in 2017 when he recorded the lowest score ever in a men’s major, shooting a 62 in the third round of the Open Championship (a feat that has been tied since). He is a nine-time winner on the European Tour, with the first four of those titles coming in the same year (2012).
