Taking a look at what time LIV Golf Adelaide starts in the US, the teams and tee times for the tournament, the purse and how you can watch.
Fresh off seeing LIV Golf stars Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson and Patrick Reed all register Top 4 finishes at The Masters, it’s time for the next tournament on the tour as they make their first international stop of the 2023 season at The Grange Golf Club in Adelaide, South Australia for the LIV Golf Adelaide event.
Cameron Smith, Marc Leishman and the Australian contingent, headlined by the all-Aussie and Smith-captained Ripper GC, will surely be popular this week. But we saw at Royal Melbourne for the Presidents Cup in the past few years how wildly popular golf is in the country, so it should be a fun atmosphere in Adelaide.
With the unique venue and an exciting tournament afoot, though, there’s a lot you need to know about LIV Golf Adelaide. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to watch and enjoy the tournament this weekend.
