With the start of the new season approaching, golf fans are excited about what the Tours will offer us this year. Great attention will be paid to LIV Golf, especially to the team aspect of this competition.

Stinger GC is a team that has shown in the seasons behind us that they have the potential to do great things, but the departure of Branden Grace from this team has created questions about who could succeed this golfer.
After a month, the captain of this team, Louis Oosthuizen, confirmed that Grace will return to the team. Although the South African did not have a great season behind him, considering his relegation, the captain of the team firmly believes that such golfers are the foundation of his team.
We knew it for a while, but we had to keep it quiet. It didnt really make sense to bring anyone else into the team. We wanted Branden back," Oosthuizen said, as quoted by Golf Monthly.
Even when you're a great golfer, there are many obstacles in your career that can derail your plans. The 36-year-old has struggled with injuries and hasn't been able to find his rhythm. Despite everything, Oosthuizen has no doubt that Grace can help the team in 2025.

Louis Oosthuizen had no doubts
"He had an unbelievable first two seasons and last year was fighting a few things, like injury and losing a bit of confidence, which can quickly happen to anyone. But we know the player he is and we wanted no-one else really on the team. We were fighting to get him back here."
The Stinger GC captain revealed that they have not spoken to any other players, as they want to continue with the same philosophy.
No (we didnt ask any other players to join), from the get-go we were working with LIV and saying we want him back. We were asking how can we get him back? What is the procedure and what do we need to do? We just had to wait and, obviously, he nearly got in via the Promotions Event, but we wanted him back. Not for one second did we think of anyone else."
