The fifth event of the 2026 LIV Golf League takes the field to South Africa for the first time where Jon Rahm is the 10/3 favourite.The Club at Steyn City, a par-71 measuring 7,557 yards, is the first venue on African soil to host an event on the breakaway tour.Southern Guards, a quartet made up of home stars Louis Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel, Branden Grace and Dean Burmester, would represent a popular winner of the team event with Burmester the most prominent in the individual outright market at 14/1.talkSPORT BET – Bet £10 and get £20 in free bets – CLAIM HERE* LIV South Africa betting tipsDavid Puig to win and each-way @ 16/1Jose Luis Ballester to win and each-way @ 30/1Peter Uihlein to win and each way @ 60/1Puig a peachy play to steal Steyn showFour rounds of LIV Golf, four different winners.David Puig isn’t among that list but he can become the fifth victor at The Club on the tour’s first venture to South Africa.The 24-year-old Spaniard is in a rich vein of form, capping 2025 – and starting the wraparound 2026 European Tour season – by winning the Australian PGA.He followed up with top-10 finishes at the Dubai Invitational and Dubai Desert Classic before heading off for LIV duties where his best efforts are a T4 in Riyadh and a T8 in Hong Kong.His talent is beyond question and his results exemplary for someone so new to the big time which suggests a win on the LIV tour is only a matter of when rather than if.No way Jose? You better believe Ballester can bowl upBeing long off the tee is an advantage at somewhere like Steyn City, which is a beast of a lay-out – Puig, incidentally, is second in driving distance in 2026.But everyone is incrementally longer anyway in the rarefied air 4,500 feet up in the clouds. Being accurate and staying out of the moist, kikuyu rough is arguably a better weapon.Jose Luis Ballester is the longest hitter this season but, importantly, is also T16 for greens hit which tells us he doesn’t lack accuracy either.Ballester, a three-shot winner of the Saudi International in November, had a couple of good run-outs in Australia at the start of the DP World Tour calendar, finishing T10 behind compatriot Puig at the Aussie PGA and then T6 at the Australian Open.Last time out at LIV Singapore, he made amends for a poor opening 18 by carding 66-69-67 for a share of sixth place.He definitely seems to be priced above his talent in South Africa at 30/1.The good side of Uihlein makes the American a contenderAnother player taken to seriously outrun his odds is Peter Uihlein, who has been hung out at 60/1.The American bomber is inconsistent but back-to-back third-place finishes in Riyadh and Adelaide are more compelling than his subsequent T31 at Hong Kong and 49th place in Singapore.He can clearly deliver at fancy odds, has won all over the world and is definitely one for a shortlist this week.talkSPORT BET – Bet £10 and get £20 in free bets – CLAIM HERE* *18+ New customers only.
