The same storytellers who brought South Africans to tears, laughter and goosebumps with Chasing the Sun are back with Greens & Gold. A series set to shine a light on one of our most exciting sports journeys yet.
South Africa (22 November 2025) – South Africans love a story with heart. A story that reminds us who we are, how we fight, how we celebrate and how we rally around the things that make us uniquely us. And now, the team behind Chasing the Sun is back with something fresh, something fiery and beautifully local.
Their new documentary, Greens & Gold, drops this December, and they’re calling it “a lekker South African sports story”.
The first teaser has just dropped and it already feels like one.
Premiering on SuperSport on Sunday, 14 December 2025 at 5pm CAT, the five-part series follows Stinger GC, the South African powerhouse squad in the LIV Golf League through the highs, lows and laughter of their 2025 season. But this isn’t just a sports documentary. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at a team stitched together by heritage, humour and an unspoken understanding of what it means to carry a flag on your back.
Louis Oosthuizen, Branden Grace, Charl Schwartzel and Dean Burmester let the cameras follow them from the driving range to the locker room, from team chats to biltong runs in Adelaide. Every moment is captured the way South Africans do it best. Honestly, rawly, proudly, and with that trademark humour that somehow survives pressure, nerves and the weight of expectation.
Rendani Ramovha, CANAL+ Africa Director: Content, Sport, describes it perfectly, “Greens & Gold is another milestone in SuperSport’s storytelling journey… We are proud to take golf fans and the new generation that LIV Golf has unearthed behind the scenes of a golf tournament like no other, a team like no other and on a sports broadcaster like no other.”
What makes the series stand out is how it shows a different side to golf entirely. Traditionally, the sport has been a lonely one, a player, a caddie and eighteen holes filled with quiet calculation. LIV Golf changed that by adding a team element that completely shifts the energy. Suddenly, golf looks a little more like us. Collaborative. Communal. Filled with glances up at a scoreboard shared by four, whispered tactics between holes, and moments of pure camaraderie that remind you why sport, at its core, is human.
“There’s a lot going on behind the scenes and all of that has an impact on how you play. I think fans will enjoy seeing that side of it,” Louis Oosthuizen, the Stinger GC captain, explains.

Off the course, LIV Golf has been attracting a fresh wave of fans… young families, women, first-time spectators and entire communities discovering golf for the first time. In 2025 alone, 30% of fans experienced their first-ever pro golf event and nearly half were under 45. And the league’s broader mission has made an impact in places far beyond the fairways, reaching 250,000 lives across nine countries this season through youth sport programmes, community upliftment and partnerships with organisations like the UN Refugee Agency.
But one of Stinger GC’s biggest dreams has always been to bring a LIV Golf event home. Against the odds, and with a fierce dedication to their country, they made it happen. In March 2026, South Africa will host its first-ever LIV Golf event at Steyn City. A landmark moment for the team, the sport and the country.
And because this is South Africa, where sport, humour and community spirit often meet in the most unexpected ways, Springbok legend Bryan Habana has kicked off the Greens & Gold launch with a challenge that only Mzansi could pull off. He wants South Africans (yes, all of us) to try to chip a golf ball into a braai.
If you manage it, you could win a ticket for yourself and a partner to the official watch party at Steyn City on 7 December, and go into the draw for a spot in a four-ball at the Stinger GC Golf Day at Pinnacle Point next December.
Explaining the idea, he says, “As an official ambassador for Stinger GC… we wanted to do something different and engaging for golf fanatics across SA to participate in.” And then, channelling full Dezemba energy, he adds: “Mzansi is ready to put on the out of office, light the braai, and dial up the Dezemba vibes. Greens & Gold drops at the perfect time for entertaining viewing. And in the build-up to SA’s first-ever staging of a LIV Golf tournament in 2026.”
Greens & Gold is shaping up to be the kind of story that lands in the right place at the right time. Something the country can gather around, celebrate and feel a little bit proud of. South Africans do sport differently, we feel it deeply, we carry it heavily and we celebrate it loudly. This documentary taps into that spirit in a way that feels both familiar and fresh.
A lekker South African sports story? Without question.
And one the nation is ready for.
