Paul Casey on LIV Golf’s growth, golf’s traditions and the next generation

In this wide-ranging interview, Australian Golf Digest talks with Paul Casey about how professional golf has evolved in recent years and where the game is heading next.

Casey reflects on LIV Golf’s rapid development since its early days, noting the year-on-year increase in competitiveness and the immediate impact of emerging young players. He discusses how the league has grown into a permanent and influential part of the global golf ecosystem, while acknowledging that venues like Adelaide are already operating at near capacity due to demand.

Despite the changes, Casey is clear on what still matters most. The four majors remain the sport’s pinnacle, with historic tournaments such as the Australian Open and the BMW PGA Championship holding deep significance. He explains why golf benefits from scarcity, why not every event needs to be oversized, and why better global coordination – while improving – still has room to evolve.
