A day after record attendance numbers revealed more than 100,000 people attended LIV Golf Adelaide over three days at The Grange Golf Club, the highly-anticipated event enjoyed strong TV ratings with 2 million people tuning in across Seven’s platforms over the weekend.
Seven’s free-to-air channels accounted for 1.85 million viewers, while an additional 211,000 tuned in via 7plus. Across the three-day event, the tournament averaged 164,000 viewers, with 140,000 watching on traditional broadcast and a further 24,000 streaming on 7plus.
Sunday’s final round delivered the highest numbers of the tournament, as more than 1 million people watched, with an average audience of 222,000. While last year’s dramatic conclusion saw Australia’s own Ripper GC claim the teams title, this year’s edition lacked a similar homegrown storyline, with the local contingent falling out of contention early. Despite this, the tournament still delivered an impressive 23 million minutes of streaming on 7plus, with 21 million minutes dedicated to live coverage and 2 million for catch-up viewing.
The Adelaide tournament has quickly become one of the standout stops on the LIV schedule, with its electric atmosphere and strong local support ensuring its status as a must-watch event.
The event was supercharged in the first 15 minutes of play on day one via insane hole-in-one by Patrick Reed on the par-3 12th, the Watering Hole.
On Monday after the tournament, 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.
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.
