LIV Golf have announced a multi-year commitment to bring league events to Australia, beginning in 2023 at Adelaide’s The Grange Golf Club.

Set to begin on 21 April, and run for three days, the event will be called LIV Golf Adelaide and be one of 14 tournaments in LIV Golf’s schedule.

Commenting on the announcement, LIV Golf CEO and commissioner, Greg Norman, said: “Passion for sport is at the core of Australian culture, and LIV Golf is proud to bring its global league to a country deserving of the world’s top competition.”

“This is an opportunity to grow the game with generations of Australians while connecting them with star players like Cameron Smith who are building a new platform for golf around the globe.”

“There is massive potential for Australia to play a bigger role in this great sport, and I couldn’t be more excited to showcase Adelaide for our league’s debut year,” he said

Premier of South Australia, Peter Malinauskas, added: “Securing the first Australian LIV Golf tournament is an exciting coup for South Australia.”

“As Premier, I am determined to lure more major events to South Australia, which means more visitors, more economic activity and more jobs.

“This is exactly what our economy needs as we emerge from the pandemic, in particular our hospitality sector which has done it tough over the past couple of years.

LIV Golf will bring some of the world’s best golf players to SA for an event the likes of which our country has never seen before,” he said.

Ground passes for the event are available on the LIV Golf website at $35 for a single day pass, or $80 for the whole weekend.

This commitment follows the announcement that LIV Golf has signed a deal with DAZN for the leagues international broadcast rights.
