“Golf, But Louder” is the tagline of LIV Golf. Yet through its first 11 events (eight in 2022 and three in 2023), the upstart league hadn’t quite reached the form commissioner Greg Norman had visualized.
But Norman and LIV Golf execs may have cracked the code this past weekend in Australia at The Grange Golf Club, highlighted by a new “party hole.”
During Sunday’s final round of the LIV Golf Adelaide, Chase Koepka raised the roof with a hole-in-one on the par-3 12th, aka the Watering Hole.
That same day, also on the 12th, Pat Perez made birdie and all hell broke loose.
Bottomline – aided greatly by the buildout of a “party hole,” LIV Golf Adelaide was exactly what the upstart league had envisioned.
“That’s what LIV should be, in its heart and its DNA, I think that’s what it can be every single week and will be when people start understanding what the real deal is here,” said Bryson DeChambeau, ahead of LIV Golf Singapore.
“There’s been a lot of controversy and a lot of things going on, but we are here to play golf, and we are here to do the best we possibly can every single week, and it was fun seeing the fans support us.”
It was peak LIV Golf.
