LIV Golf and SuperSport have announced the renewal of their broadcast partnership, which ensures delivery of the comprehensive live coverage of the 2026 LIV Golf League season, featuring 14 events across 10 countries and five continents, including events in Adelaide, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mexico, the United States, the United Kingdom, and additional international destinations.
SuperSport, the largest sports broadcaster in Africa, is a subsidiary of MultiChoice, a Canal+ Group company.
The broadcast agreement follows SuperSport’s broadcast of the five-part docuseries, Greens & Gold, which chronicled the on- and off-course performance, team culture, and competitive mindset of Southern Guards, providing fans with behind-the-scenes access to the all–South African team and its journey within the LIV Golf League.
SA EVENT
Golf fans can look forward to the League’s first-ever event in South Africa, LIV Golf South Africa, taking place 19-22 March 2026, at The Club at Steyn City in Johannesburg.
The South Africa event has already emerged as one of the fastest-selling events across the 2026 LIV Golf season, reflecting strong demand from fans and underscoring the momentum surrounding LIV Golf’s arrival in the region.
This historic milestone for LIV Golf is a testament to the passion and national pride of the league’s South Africa–based team, the Southern Guards, captained by major champion Louis Oosthuizen, alongside multiple LIV Golf event winner Branden Grace, prolific global performer and LIV Golf Chicago 2025 Champion Dean Burmester, and Masters winner Charl Schwartzel.
“SuperSport is proud to once again be at the forefront of bringing innovation in the sport of golf to Africa,” said Rendani Ramovha, CANAL+ Director: Sport, Content (English & Portuguese-Speaking Africa).
“This partnership with LIV Golf is a credit not just to the broadcast capabilities of SuperSport in bringing the world’s finest golfers in immaculate broadcast quality to viewers across Africa, but to South African golf as a whole.
“As part of our integration into the global Canal+ Group ecosystem, we are committed to leveraging our best-in-class production and technical facilities to showcase the South Africa event to the rest of the world. This will pave the way for developing golf further in Africa.”
Via the new rights agreement, golf fans across Sub-Saharan Africa can consistently follow a premier global field spanning the sport’s most elite competitors and iconic figures beyond South Africa’s Southern Guards roster – including Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, Joaquín Niemann, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Sergio García, Tyrrell Hatton, and more.
LIV Golf’s competition format, with events contested over four rounds and 72 holes across many of the world’s most iconic courses, is anchored by the League’s signature shotgun start.
The League’s innovative broadcast approach accelerates pace and enhances both individual and team storylines, delivering a dynamic, action-dense viewing experience with significantly more live action than traditional golf broadcasts – all within a four-to-five-hour window.
LIV Golf’s South African Team docuseries, Greens & Gold, is available on DStv CatchUp.
