South African minister wrongly tags LIV Golf's fan page while inviting the 'worlds most excited golf tournament' to the country

South African Minister Gayton McKenzie has mistakenly tagged a LIV Golf fan while inviting the Saudi league players to the country. On May 6, McKenzie shared a video of the LIV Golf's Stinger GC team on X, and in the caption, he revealed that South Africa was "close" to hosting a golf tournament of the League.

LIV Golf is known for its tournaments around the world. Last week, they were in South Korea. In his X post, McKenzie wanted to tag LIV Golf, but he mistakenly tagged a fan page, as he wrote:

"We are very close to bringing the worlds most excited golf tournament @LIVGolfNation to South Africa, 54 of the worlds top golfers will descend on South African soil in very near future, I wanna thank @stingergc_ crew, we nearly there boys"
