It pays to play well in the LIV Golf League, just ask South Africa’s Dean Burmester.
The 34-year-old won for the first time on the Saudi-backed circuit on Sunday after a two-hole playoff against Spain’s Sergio Garcia at Trump National Doral.
The LIV Golf Miami stop was the league’s fifth event of the 2024 season.
For his efforts, Burmester took home the top prize of $4 million (R74.4 million).
Not bad for 54 holes of golf!
But that’s not all!
Burmester was also part of the Stinger GC team which finished third overall, earning each of the four-player team another $125 000 (R2.3 million).
The other members of the all-South African Stinger GC team are Louis Oosthuizen, Branden Grace and Charl Schwartzel.
Oosthuizen finished in a tie for seventh on seven-under par and banked $562 500 (R10.5 million) while Grace was tied for 32nd on two-over par, which was good enough for a $153 250 (R2.9 million) pay day.
Schwartzel, who will head to Augusta National this week for the year’s first Major, the Masters, finished on four-over par in a tie for 37th. That earned him $141 500 (R2.6 million).
