Fans finally appeared to be acknowledging their presence and authority. But that mental turnaround in the golf world about the new league being accepted didn’t sink in too deeply. And as the Saudi-Backed series heads to Australia for its event next week, fans lashed out at its latest attraction piece!

Much like the PGA Tour’s famous Waste Management Phoenix Open’s famous 16th hole, LIV’s Adelaide event will also have a colosseum-like structure. At the 12th hole of the Grange Golf Club, grandstands have been built around the hole, encompassing it. Moreover, the hole will feature DJs, music, alcohol, and, of course, thousands of fans cheering on their favorite defectors.

They’ve sold 75k tickets already and they had to ask the local authority to open up the pro-am for spectators now because the demand is so high. The Aussies are gonna bring it!
