Adelaide confirmed as home of LIV Golf in Australia through to 2031
Adelaide has been confirmed by the South Australia Government and LIV Golf as the exclusive home of LIV Golf in Australia with an extension agreement through 2031.
The announcement was made by South Australia Premier Peter Malinauskas, LIV Golf Chief Executive Scott O’Neil, and LIV Golf Board Member and Australian golf legend Greg Norman delivering the news together on the final day of LIV Golf Adelaide 2025.
As part of the commitment, the SA Government, in collaboration with the Adelaide City Council, announced plans to redevelop the North Adelaide Golf Course - to be designed by Greg Norman - transforming the facility into one of the world’s best public golf courses.
LIV Golf Chief Executive Scott O’Neil added “this event is the embodiment of what LIV Golf represents: the biggest stars, the best courses, unmatched experiences, and of course, the best fans in the world.
“LIV Golf Adelaide is our showcase and brings the vision for all our events across the globe to life.
Greg Norman shared “I’ve dreamed of building a global golf league for 30 years. LIV Golf Adelaide is the realisation of what LIV Golf can be around the world.”
With its unique and stunning location within the Adelaide Park Lands, and sight lines to the Adelaide CBD, North Adelaide is already Australia’s most centrally located golf course.
The redevelopment will provide improved facilities and greater amenity to accommodate year-round use for the public, and to accommodate the future growth of LIV Golf Adelaide, boosting tourism and in maximising interstate and international visitation.
It is envisaged the redevelopment will include a new 18-hole Championship Course, new driving range and practice facilities.
Greg Norman Golf Course Design is recognised as the premier signature golf course design firm in the world, having delivered more than a hundred courses across 34 countries and six continents.
The new world-standard course will allow every South Australian to play the course that golfing legends like Cam Smith compete on as part of the LIV Golf tournament.
LIV Golf Adelaide has paid dividends for South Australia, already contributing $136 million in its first two years to the State’s economy and bringing thousands of visitors from far and wide to the State.
The World’s Best Golf Event at the World Golf Awards two years in a row, LIV Golf Adelaide has set the benchmark for delivering world-class golf against a festival atmosphere, with first-class hospitality and pulsating live concerts.
More than just an elite golf tournament, LIV Golf has served a vehicle to showcase South Australia to a global audience, with a broadcast reach of more than 500 million viewers across 80 territories.
The 2024 tournament drew thousands of visitors, generating over 79,000 visitor nights, with guests staying an average of nearly four nights. Approximately 40% of ticket holders travelled from outside South Australia, proving the event’s massive tourism impact.
SA Premier Peter Malinauskas noted “LIV Golf has brought significant global attention to South Australia – and I am delighted to confirm that we have secured the rights to host LIV Golf in Adelaide until 2031.
“Nestled in the stunning Adelaide Park Lands, the North Adelaide Golf Course is a stunning platform on which to showcase our city to the rest of the world.”
