At the Grange Golf Club in Adelaide, the fourth event of LIV Golf came to a thrilling conclusion. In keeping with the event’s custom of no cuts, 48 individuals and 12 teams competed over 52 holes. Fans expected a thrilling event, but the one they witnessed exceeded all of their hopes and expectations. Over the course of the weekend, LIV Golf Adelaide showcased some of the best golf in addition to the boisterous crowd.

Although there was fierce competition at the event, LIV golfer Bubba Watson was unable to have a significant impact. The 44-year-old has captured everyone’s attention because of his open opinions about the approaching event in Singapore.

During the press conference at the Sentosa Golf Club, a reporter asked the LIV star about his plans to go to Singapore and about the things the event offers. The two-time Masters winner replied, “Do you want my true answer, or do you want me to lie? Truthfully, when I get to golf tournaments, and when we have a week like this week, coming from cooler temperatures last week, I am trying to get acclimated and rest. Rest is going to be the key around here, because you’re losing so many fluids, and so many electrolytes, and different things. You’re trying to stay hydrated.”

The Florida-born golfer added, “So, I’m not going to do much off the course, not because I don’t want to, but because I’m trying to help our team get back on the podium. But from my room, I have a beautiful room that overlooks everything, and I went down and ate downtown last night, off the island, as they call it. It was a great experience. I’m scared of heights, so I can at look the gondola, but I can’t get on it. My team, some of the staff went on the gondola last night. I think Talor went to-I don’t know what it’s called-the hotel with the boat on top of it. He went there. He’s not afraid of heights, and he went up to the top, and he said, ‘I’m scared of that‘.”

Sincere opinions like Watson’s have made him the center of attention. The 44-year-old seemed to have carefully thought out the $25 million event, though.
