THE Southern Guards GC are bracing for the sledging and chirps coming their way starting today as they tee it up in Adelaide for the second LIV Golf tournament, knowing there is no love lost between Australians and South Africans on the sporting field.

- LEIGHTON KOOPMAN

After a mid-table start to the 2026 League, the Southern Guards are looking to improve their standings on the official log as the first-ever LIV South Africa tournament in March creeps ever closer.

While it may still be just over a month away, valuable winning momentum will be important for captain Louis Oosthuizen, Dean Burmester, Charl Schwartzel and Branden Grace.

Grace showed some mettle in Riyadh this past weekend, finishing ninth in the opening tournament in Saudi Arabia and bagging much-needed golf ranking points.

He, alongside his teammates, will look to deliver a stronger overall performance in tough conditions on and off the course in Australia.
