With just 100 days until LIV Golf Adelaide 2025, organisers are gearing up for a milestone event, focusing on exclusive corporate partnerships and enhanced fan experiences.
Now in its third year, the tournament has evolved with each iteration, aiming to blend sports, entertainment, and local community engagement in a unique format.
One of the event’s primary draws, the “Watering Hole” party area, has reached sold-out status faster than ever, with remaining access available exclusively to corporate sponsors and partners.
LIV Golf Adelaide Executive Tournament Director, Nick Haslam, underscored the corporate focus, stating, “Tickets are exhausted in terms of the watering hole, so we want to be locking in those commercial partners. If you’re a commercial partner, that’s the only way to get access to the watering hole”.
This approach is designed to boost brand visibility for partners looking to engage with a diverse audience and be part of the event’s high-energy core.
Fan engagement remains a central priority for LIV Golf, as seen in recent announcements of expanded entertainment options and new facilities.
Australian artist Dom Dolla is set to headline Friday night’s concert, with additional performances on Saturday and Sunday, marking a concert series that has become an anticipated part of the LIV Golf Adelaide experience.
Haslam noted, “Dom Dolla speaks to a new audience that we’re trying to attract,” highlighting the tournament’s commitment to drawing both golf enthusiasts and casual attendees.
New infrastructure also aims to accommodate Adelaide’s warmer February climate and enhance the overall spectator experience. Organisers have introduced more shaded seating areas, increased water and sunscreen availability, and grandstands to give fans an elevated view of the course. “We’ll have more water available, sunscreen offerings, and lots of shade…to make it as comfortable as possible,” Haslam added, acknowledging the challenges of a summer event.
Corporate sponsorship and collaboration with the South Australian government remain integral to the tournament’s economic goals. Working closely with the South Australian Tourism Commission, organisers have prioritised local partnerships, with 42% of attendees in previous years coming from interstate, adding value for both sponsors and the state.
“We’ve worked closely with the state government and the South Australian Tourism Commission to access local sponsors,” said Haslam, emphasising the focus on showcasing South Australia’s offerings to a wider audience.
With final preparations and partnership opportunities wrapping up before Christmas, LIV Golf Adelaide aims to deliver a well-rounded and engaging event in February 2025. By balancing exclusive corporate offerings with community involvement, the organisers are set to solidify the event’s reputation in Australia’s sports and entertainment landscape. This year’s enhanced fan experiences, combined with strategic local partnerships, reflect LIV Golf’s ongoing commitment to growing its audience and fostering regional economic impact.
