Adelaide to host first LIV golf event in Australia

Adelaide has won the battle to host the first LIV golf event with Aussie champion Cameron Smith to headline the event.

The tournament will take place between April 21-23 as part of a 14 stop global tour.

Players will tee up at the Grange Golf Club with some of the worlds biggest names likely to feature.

"Passion for sport is at the core of Australian culture, and LIV Golf is proud to bring its global league to a country deserving of the world's top competition," Norman, who is LIV Golf CEO and Commissioner, said.

"This is an opportunity to grow the game with generations of Australians while connecting them with star players like Cameron Smith, who are building a new platform for golf around the globe.

"There is massive potential for Australia to play a bigger role in this great sport and I couldn't be more excited to showcase Adelaide for our league's debut year."
