Just days after LIV Golf confirmed its return to Adelaide for February 13–15, 2026, the league has announced a new event will join the 2026 schedule from March 20–22.
Receiving invites were Australia’s Lucas Herbert, Dean Burmester, Adrian Meronk and David Puig. Two of those players – Herbert and Meronk – are also inside the top 100 of the OWGR.

Oosthuizen spoke to reporters at a press conference ahead of this week’s 3M Open, where he’s getting right back to competition. And he explained why he didn’t talk to any media after The Open’s final round.
