LIV Golf South Africa Final Thoughts:
1)Has there been a better debut tournament anywhere in the world in the past 30 years? For an initial event to be this HUGE and this successful on its first try is REMARKABLE! It’s really hard to describe with words how amazing this tournament was, and in some ways it was even emotional. What a great 4 days!
2)Over 100,000 fans packed this Steyn City course over the 4 days, and the atmosphere was honestly electrifying. I absolutely loved how The Lions Den was hole 17 because it was a perfect duo of closing holes. 17 and 18 were both PACKED and were a perfect way for the rounds to end for the leaders.
3)The Southern Guards GC members, all 4 of them, were unbelievable hosts and did themselves and their country so proud! Louis, Dean, Charl, and Branden all felt like the men in the arena. They were all emotional and engaged and fully connected to the crowd. They almost appeared exhausted at the end, and the energy of the crowd was pulling them along! They worked so hard to help bring this event to SA, and they deserve so much credit for this smashing success. It was sad that they fell 1 shot short of the team title, but they all said this was the best week of golf in their lives and I believe them!
4)Bryson DeChambeau… WOW! What else can be said about this man?! Everywhere he goes he is the most popular golfer, and this SA crowd adopted him as one of their own! In the playoff with fellow Titan Jon Rahm, Bryson hit one of the best golf shots of his life from the muddy left rough to get on the green in 2 and clinch the victory. It was Bryson’s 2nd victory in a row, and he is peaking at a perfect time for Major season! I think he’s got a great chance to win the Masters!
5)Jon Rahm also looks ready for Major season, and he looked awesome today in Round 4 to come back and force a playoff. He is now 0-4 in LIV Golf playoffs, though, and I’m sure he would love to get that monkey off of his back soon.
6)The Crushers once again showed grit and toughness to fight back and win the team championship! They are now the winningest team in LIV history, and are also the only team that has never had any changes to its members. After the round, their togetherness and family feel was on full display once again. They are an emotionally connected team, and when Bryson was emotional after the round and announced that something was going on in his life outside of golf you could see how much he leans on his Crushers teammates as big brother/father type figures. What a team they are!
7)Thomas Detry needed a Top 2 finish to get into the Top 50 OWGR and quality for The Masters, and he gave it everything he had, coming in 3rd. Again I will say that he has been a GREAT addition to the LIV Golf league!
8)The return of Phil Mickelson was huge for the HyFlyers, and especially for young Michael La Sasso. It seemed like La Sasso was struggling so far this season, and was so so for the 1st 2 rounds here. In Round 3, though, he got paired with Phil and, as I suspected, it had a big impact on him. Michael shot 63-63 over the weekend and finished T12!
9)Both AK and Matthew Wolff had been off to great starts to the season, but both struggled mightily here. Hopefully they can both get back up into contention in Mexico!
10)This event feels like it needs more than 10 thoughts! 😁 Just incredible. The crowd, the golf, the energy, the class. There were a lot of famous South Africans at the event, and even the President of the country was on hand for Round 4! To hear them all singing the national anthem on 18 at the end was so so great as well! This tournament joins Adelaide as bucket list journeys for me, and I hope to be able to witness this one in person someday!
What a great 3-week stretch it has been! Now a time for a break and for The Masters! I hope one of our boys wins that thing! Mexico is next! See you all then! Thanks for reading!

There should be a law, that you can’t talk on speaker phone in a public place.
Massive shout out to “Becky” from Bidvest, for prompting this post, having just had a 20 minute call with her boss, on speaker phone, loudly, next to me in the Slow Lounge.
This is the reason aliens fly straight by the earth people!

In 2007, while filming Sweeney Todd in London, Johnny Depp’s life narrowed to a single phone call that erased everything else.
His seven-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose, had been rushed to Great Ormond Street Hospital with a severe E. coli infection. Her condition was critical. Her kidneys were beginning to fail.
Nothing in his career prepared him for that moment. Not the pressure of leading roles. Not the chaos of film sets. Not the public scrutiny that came with fame.
He left the production immediately and went to the hospital, where the world he knew disappeared.
For nearly three weeks, Johnny Depp lived inside that building. No premieres. No interviews. No costumes. No escape into characters. He sat beside a small hospital bed, watching machines breathe and filter and monitor while his daughter’s body struggled to recover.
The first nine days were the most terrifying. Time lost meaning. Hours blurred into nights. Every beep of a monitor carried hope or dread. Every doctor’s step toward the room tightened his chest.
Later, Depp would describe it as the darkest period of his life.
He watched other parents in the ward, sitting in the same rigid chairs, holding the same exhaustion in their faces. He watched nurses move with quiet precision at all hours, doctors delivering updates with calm voices that barely held back the weight of what they carried.
Slowly, Lily-Rose began to improve. Her kidneys responded. The infection retreated. Strength returned where there had been only fear.
Relief came, but it didn’t erase what he had seen.
When his daughter was finally out of danger, Johnny Depp walked out of Great Ormond Street Hospital changed. He did not forget the nights. He did not forget the parents who stayed behind when he left. He did not forget how desperately he had needed hope in that place.
The following year, he quietly donated more than two million dollars to the hospital. There were no announcements. No publicity campaigns. Just gratitude.
But money was not the most personal gift he could give.
Johnny Depp knew he possessed something else, something uniquely powerful. A character who could cross fear, pain, and silence in ways ordinary comfort could not.
Captain Jack Sparrow.
He began visiting children’s hospitals in full costume, without press, without warning, without any expectation of recognition. He would arrive quietly, step into the pirate’s voice and mannerisms, and walk from room to room as if the hospital were simply another strange port on Sparrow’s map.
He did not rush.
In Vancouver in 2017, he spent nearly five hours visiting close to seventy children. Nurses later said he treated every child as if there were no other room to visit. He listened. He joked. He improvised stories. He knelt beside beds and let children lead the interaction.
For those moments, illness loosened its grip.
Parents watched their children laugh, sometimes for the first time in days. Some cried quietly in hallways, not from sadness, but from the sudden release of tension they had been carrying alone.
He repeated these visits in Paris, Brisbane, Madrid, London, and beyond. He showed up when films wrapped, between commitments, sometimes with no one outside the hospital knowing he was there at all.
He carried gold coins in his pockets. He adjusted his voice for shy children. He stayed longer when parents needed time to breathe.
In September 2024, he walked the halls of Donostia University Hospital in Spain, once again in full Jack Sparrow attire. No premiere nearby. No promotional reason. Just a suitcase with a costume inside, ready in case someone needed a moment of light.
When asked why he continues to do this, Depp has never spoken about heroism or charity.
He speaks as a father.
He remembers what it feels like to sit helplessly beside a child and wonder if they will survive the night. He remembers the fear that hollowed him out. He remembers the strangers who fought for his daughter when he could not.

For two hours, once a year, for a quarter of a century, the entire rugby world came together and wished for the same result. And this week, 115 years after rugby first arrived in Italy, they finally defeats the sport's creators: We break down exactly how-

A young boy in Gujarat lost his father when he was just 5 years old. His mother raised him alone in Ahmedabad, struggling to make ends meet.
As a young boy, he had only one pair of shoes and a single T shirt. He washed the T Shirt every night, so he could wear it again the next day.
With no fancy facilities, he taught himself to bowl on the streets of Ahmedabad, developing the characteristic slingy action the world now recognizes instantly.
In 2012, a video of his bowling caught the eye of John Wright, who was then working as a talent scout and coach for the Mumbai Indians, and he was called for trials.
In 2013, he was picked by Mumbai Indians in the IPL. A skinny young fast bowler with a strange action… but incredible talent.
During the early years of the player's IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, Mitchell Johnson noticed his unusual bowling action and raw pace during practice.
Johnson, who used ASICS shoes himself, gifted the player a pair of ASICS bowling shoes.
His first pair of high quality shoes.
Years later, the same boy who once struggled to afford shoes became a global ambassador for ASICS.
From IPL newcomer to India’s strike bowler, he went on to take 400+ international wickets and become one of the most feared fast bowlers in the world.
And today, that boy from Ahmedabad stands tall as a T20 World Cup 2026 champion for India.
The World knows him as Jasprit Bumrah.🔥🔥🔥
