LIV Golf has announced a long-term commitment to Adelaide, ensuring that the city will continue hosting its events through 2031. This decision solidifies Adelaide’s position as a major destination for global golf, promising both economic and sporting benefits. The move aligns with the league’s strategy to expand its footprint in key markets and provide world-class experiences for both players and fans.
A new golf destination in North Adelaide
Starting in 2028, the tournament will shift from The Grange Golf Club to a newly redesigned North Adelaide Golf Course. The redevelopment, led by golf legend Greg Norman, will transform the public facility into a championship-level course while maintaining accessibility for local golfers. The project includes a new 18-hole course, advanced driving ranges, and upgraded practice facilities.
Premier Peter Malinauskas emphasized the dual purpose of the project—offering both a venue for elite competition and an opportunity for everyday golfers to play on the same greens as the pros. The initiative highlights South Australia’s commitment to integrating world-class sports within its urban landscape.
Economic and sporting impact
LIV Golf Adelaide has already generated over $136 million for the South Australian economy in its first two years. With attendance expected to exceed 100,000 fans in 2025, the event brings substantial tourism revenue, benefiting hotels, restaurants, and local businesses. The commitment through 2031 ensures long-term economic gains and solidifies Adelaide as a key hub for professional golf.
Greg Norman, a driving force behind the event, stated that his vision for LIV Golf is becoming a reality, making Adelaide a global golf destination. The long-term partnership reflects a broader shift in golf, with new formats and locations reshaping the sport’s future.
By securing LIV Golf for the next decade, Adelaide cements itself as a premier golfing city, blending elite competition with community engagement in a setting that will continue to attract players and fans worldwide.
