It’s a wild scene again at LIV Golf Adelaide. Here are the photos to prove it

A year ago, LIV Golf Adelaide was considered the upstart circuit’s largest and most successful event as thousands of golf fans flocked to a party hole with a DJ, and the team competition came down to the wire.

By all accounts, LIV’s first stop in Australia was a success. But how would the 2024 event fare? It appears to be another hit as crowds gathered for the opening round of play on Friday at The Grange Golf Club.

“Last year was unbelievable, as well. It’s just good. I didn’t notice too much of a difference, but it was just more on every hole rather than a couple of … maybe the holes on the back,” Marc Leishman said after the opening round of play. “The atmosphere was good everywhere, though. I think we were both better for a runner end of last year, used that experience to kind of ease our way into the week early and then know sort of what to expect.”

Here’s a look at the event:
