Even if you’re blissfully unaware of which squad took home the title at Maridoe Golf Club yesterday, perhaps you’ll be interested in the celebration, which saw Cam Smith’s merry band of men throw back a couple of sweaty champagne shoeys for the ‘Gram. Bottoms up!

Temperatures in Dallas topped out at about 35 degrees on the final day, which should give you some sense of the gastrointestinal fortitude this stunt required. After they slugged down their shoeys without batting an eyelid, Ripper GC then hurled their soggy shoes into the crowd. Um, thanks fellas?
Anyway, Ripper GC’s celebration was a fitting end to LIV Golf’s third full season. It was brash, loud and more than a little silly. It made the purists nauseous and gave the frat bros some new ideas about how to inhale beer. It also came with piles and piles of money – $US14 million to be exact. Shoey or no shoey, we’ll drink to that.
