LIV Golf has been the talk of the town of late, ever since its players dominated at the Masters. Following that epic, nail-biting adventure, things seemed to have started to look up for the new league. They now head over to Australia for their fourth event of the year, riding high on their Masters performances. And the likes of the 2023 LIV Golf victor, Cameron Smith, have a lot of praise to sing about the Aussie fans!
Cameron Smith stands by his home country
For the first time in its two seasons, LIV Golf heads over to Australia for an event, and so far, things are looking good. From its tickets being rapidly sold out to the event featuring a party hole just like the PGA Tour has at the WM Phoenix Open, the Adelaide event promises the fans a good time and some good golf.

Standing by his home country, the golf pro was certain that LIV spending more time in the region would be a good move. “Like, you know three weeks out of that kind of area and come back to the US for a couple then go over to Europe,” he stated.

The 2022 Open Championship winner was convinced that the new league touring across continents would be a smart format for LIV.
