JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Strong weekend on home soil Oosthuizen posted a 16-under cumulative score at LIV Golf South Africa to finish in a five-way tie for 17th.

Impact Oosthuizen surged up the leaderboard Saturday with a bogey-free, seven-under 64 score that included five birdies in a six-hole span from the 18th to the fifth. The Southern Guards captain ranked T6 in birdies made and T10 in both driving accuracy and putts per hole. Oosthuizen has finished in the top-20 in two of the last three LIV Golf tournaments and sits 27th in the individual standings. His next outing will be LIV Golf Mexcio that starts April 16.

Cracks top-10 in Hong Kong Oosthuizen finished tied for eighth at LIV Golf Hong after posting a 14-under cumulative score.

Quarterfinals Match Recap: LIV Golf Michigan Team Championship

Disappointing end to 2025 season Oosthuizen finished T36 at LIV Golf Indianapolis with an eight-under cumulative score to end the regular season 30th in the individual standings with 45.13 points.

Impact Oosthuizen managed to end the tournament with a bogey-free, seven-under 64 final round, but it wasn't enough for him to sneak into the top-24 of the leaderboard. It was a rather disappointing 2025 LIV Golf campaign for Oosthuizen, who had two top-5 finishes (T2 in Dallas, T5 in Singapore) but failed to earn points in eight of 13 events to finish behind his other three Stinger GC teammates in the individual standings. Oosthuizen will lead his seventh-seeded Stinger team of Charles Schwartzel, Branden Grace and Chicago champion Dean Burmester into the LIV Golf Team Championship in Michigan this weekend.

AUGUST 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Strong final round not enough Oosthuizen carded a five-under 66 in the final round at LIV Golf UK to finish tied for 25th.

Impact Oosthuizen was one-over through the first two rounds, it wasn't enough for him to crack into the top-24 to earn points. He finished T2 in both driving accuracy and scrambling opportunities but was in the bottom half of the field in putts per hole and birdies made. It's been an up-and-down season for the Stinger GC captain, who followed up his T2 finish at LIV Golf Dallas with a T45 in Andalucia, a missed cut at The Open and his most recent performance at JCB Golf and Country Club. Ootshuizen is 28th in the individual season standings with 45.13 points heading into LIV Golf Chicago, where he finished T30 in 2024 and 22nd in 2023.

LIV Golf Dallas: Patrick Reed Wins With Birdie in 4-Man Playoff

Finds water in playoff hole Oosthuizen carded a four-under 68 in the final round at LIV Golf Dallas and finished tied with Paul Casey and Jinichiro Kozuma for second after falling to Patrick Reed in a one-hol...

Impact While most of the field floundered on Championship Sunday, Oosthuizen was able to tame the tough Maridoe Golf Club and used back-to-back birdies on the first and second holes to sneak into a four-man playoff. His tee shot found the water, but his penalty shot made it to the green, and he would have had a good chance at a par putt were it not for Reed sinking the tournament-clinching birdie putt. It was Oosthuizen's first podium finish of the season, and he now sits 19th in the LIV Golf individual season standings with 45.13 points. He's in the field for LIV Golf Andalucia in two weeks, where he finished T4 in 2024.
