LIV Golf officials announced that 102,483 fans came through the gates over three rounds during the league’s flagship Adelaide tournament at The Grange Golf Club last week.
The tournament, won by Chile’s Joaquin Niemann, saw warm weather and internationally-celebrated DJs performing at night combine with the 54-hole tournament to produce the highest-known crowd total for an individual strokeplay tournament in Australia.
LIV Golf held its third edition of the Adelaide tournament, bring a host of star golfers Down Under including homegrown hero Cameron Smith, Niemann, Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka and others. Former Masters winner Patrick Reed supercharged the tournament early on with a hole-in-one at the par-3 12, the Watering Hole, with a large percentage of the 5,000 fans packed around the arena-style hole showering him with beer cups. That was only 15 minutes into play on the first day.
Monday’s news of the crowd total comes a day after the South Australian government and Adelaide City Council, as well as Greg Norman and new LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil, jointly announced they’d reached an agreement to keep LIV Golf in the city of Adelaide until 2031. Officials also revealed Greg Norman Golf Course Design would upgrade the North Adelaide golf facility in the CBD with plans to make it the eventual home of LIV Golf Adelaide.
The existing agreement for LIV Golf Adelaide with the SA government was a four-year arrangement through 2026.
The extension was announced in front of thousands of fans at the par 3 No. 12 Watering Hole on Sunday before the final round, by SA Premier Peter Malinauskas, O’Neil, and Norman.
