Both the rival leagues have been trying to be better than the other and that has led to major changes in the game of golf as we view it today.

In another tweet, Norman said, “From the start of my family’s journey to Australia on my father’s side via Port Lincoln, to my first professional win as a young 21-year old Queenslander at the 1976 West Lakes Classic, it is only fitting to be bringing LIV Golf to South Australia’s #TheGrangeGolfClub in 2023″
Only time will tell how things will turn out for LIV Golf in Australia. However, as things are proceeding,it is stringent in the persuasion of its expansionary approach. Australia might just be the beginning of a bigger plan.
