LIV Golf Breaks Attendance Records at LIV Adelaide with Over 94,000 Fans
LIV Golf Hits Record Attendance at LIV Adelaide Tournament
LIV Golf made a triumphant return to Australian soil last week, with their Adelaide tournament at The Grange attracting a record-breaking attendance of over 94,000 fans across the three days. The breakaway league, which launched in June 2022, saw unprecedented success in Australia, with ticket sales reaching an all-time high.
The 54-hole tournament culminated in a thrilling final round that featured a LIV Golf first – a team playoff. The all-Australian Ripper GC, led by former world No. 2 Cam Smith, emerged victorious over their Stinger rivals in a dramatic finish that had the home crowd on their feet. Additionally, HyFlyers star Brendan Steele claimed his first LIV title in the individual event.
Australia has long been hungry for top-level golf, and LIV Golf has seized the opportunity to fill that void. CEO Greg Norman, an Australian native himself, expressed his pride in the success of the Adelaide event, which has quickly become a must-see on the country’s sporting calendar.
Norman’s message to the league’s doubters was clear – the rise of LIV Golf in Australia has proven the value of team golf and the support for the league among Australian fans. Despite facing criticism and negativity, Norman remains steadfast in his belief in the future of LIV Golf and the positive impact it can have on the sport.
With a record attendance and a thrilling conclusion to the Adelaide tournament, LIV Golf has solidified its place in the Australian golf landscape. The success of the event has not only showcased the talent of the players but also the passion and support of the Australian fans, who have embraced the league with open arms.
