Pair of LIV golfers tied for lead on DP World Tour, looking for three-peat in South Africa

The former major champions have opened up a five-shot lead.

It has been a few good weeks on and off the course for LIV Golf.

Dean Burmester has won consecutive DP World Tour events in South Africa. Additionally, last week, Joaquin Niemann won on the DP World Tour in Australia.

This week, the Jon Rahm-to-LIV news shook the golf world and has given the league plenty of momentum in its second offseason.

And it seems as if LIV golfers aren’t done winning on the course, either.

Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel are tied for the lead at 15-under 201 after three rounds at the 2023 Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek Country Club in South Africa. Oosthuizen tied a course record with a 9-under 63 in the third round while Schwartzel, a four-time winner of the event, shot 65. The duo are five shots in front of the field with 18 holes to play.

Oosthuizen’s round included an eagle and seven birdies. Schwartzel had six birdies, an eagle and one bogey.

Andy Sullivan and Christiaan Bezuidenhout are the closest chasers at 10-under 206. Outside of Oosthuizen and Schwartzel, no other golfer shot better than 67 on Saturday.
