A player hits a golf ball.
South Africa’s Branden Grace has failed to retain his LIV Golf playing privileges.
Grace, a member of the South African Stinger Team since the inception of the rebel golf league, had a below par 2024-season and had to win the LIV Golf Promotion tournament at the Riyadh Golf Club in Saudi Arabia to keep his membership.
But despite successive rounds of four-under-par 67 in the final stage of promotion, the 36-year-old South Africa with 15 professional wins to his name, fell two strokes short of his goal.
He finished in a tie for second behind Max Lee of South Korea who secured the only spot available for next year’s LIV Golf season.
Lee finished the final stage over 36-holes in 10-under-par following rounds of 64 and 68.

Meanwhile, Sweden’s Marcus Kinhult is the leader after the third round of the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek near Malelane in Mpumalanga.
He carded a three-under-par 69 for a total of 202 — 14-under-par.
The 28-year-old seeking a second DP World Tour victory, is two-strokes clear of South Africa’s Ryan van Velzen.
