Self-described as “the grand old game — supercharged”, LIV Golf brought its unique brand of the sport to Gauteng this weekend.
The weekend featured shirtless spectators in the gallery, participants wearing newly released football shirts, and a mass altercation typically associated with rowdier team sports.
Police confirmed on Sunday that the opening evening of what would be a successful event was punctuated by the removal of several brawling patrons.
A video of a fight among attendees began circulating on social media as the festivities on the greens and fairways wrapped up.
The cause of the running altercation is unknown, but one individual providing commentary declared that “This is insane, boet”.
Police confirmed that security was on scene to escort the attendees off the property and that those involved in the brawl chose not to open any cases of assault.
“Gauteng Traffic Wardens and private security personnel posted outside the perimeter of the Welcome Centre at the LIV Golf South Africa in Steyn City, restored order when they stopped an altercation among a group of seemingly intoxicated individuals involved in a brawl,” stated Gauteng police spokesperson Brenda Muridili.
