LIV Golf have answered their critics on day one of their event in Adelaide, after fans formed deep queues just to access the merchandise tent over two hours before play was set to begin.
In its relatively short history LIV has been slammed by many within the golfing world for failing to pull in crowds that match that of their PGA Tour rivals. The lack of support has also been noted from those who watch at home too, with breakaway circuit's streaming views dwindling on YouTube throughout its maiden season.
Even after securing their first ever broadcasting deal with TV network CW, the Saudi-funded series were also mocked after the channel's 'World Funniest Animals' trumped LIV's viewing figures of its opening tournament of 2023 at Mayakoba.
