The end of LIV was a tough watch....

Poor bugger.

For mine he lost it off the tee, watching Bryson go in the water, you'd still expect him to make 5, so it was a lazy option finding the bunker, however, Lee's 3rd in was also a pretty good shot.

He'll defiantly learn from it.

Brysons distance definitely intimidated Lee. Even if he found fairway im not sure he gets to green in 2 anyway??
Once Bryson was pin high for 3 i thought he had the slight advantage but fully expected a 2nd play off hole. Those are the putts i miss

[Booney]

And we know that he knew he was missing it.

So good having LIV start at 6.30.
Thats the evening sorted.

X - THE trusted platform for true stories, LIV looks to be in trouble in its current format....

Trump has killed his mate Greg's Liv project with his war in the Middle East?

Hope not, course needs a make over anyway and they are still locked into the women's Aussie Open there

[Dutchy]

Disappointing but at least Adelaide has shown it can host quality golf events, be very surprised if DP World Tour don't take over the event here.

South Australia’s government has dismissed reports LIV Golf could collapse as “media speculation” despite urgent crisis talks being held in New York.

Reports of LIV Golf’s potential demise have been dismissed by the government as “media speculation”.

State Development Minister Chris Picton said on Thursday that the government had received assurances from LIV Golf organisers that the tournament would continue, and that there was no plan from the government to scrap the controversial redevelopment of the North Adelaide Golf Course.

“I’ve obviously seen the media speculation, which is all it is at this stage,” Mr Picton said.

“LIV have given assurances to the government that there is no change from their perspective, but we wait to see if there’s further changes that happen.”

It comes as LIV Golf organisers hold urgent crisis talks in New York amid reports the Saudi Arabian backers of the breakaway Golf league could pull their funding.

Club president confirms major Adelaide golf course revamp to proceed with or without LIV

North Adelaide Golf Club has vowed its $45 million redevelopment will proceed despite LIV Golf organisers holding urgent crisis talks.

STORY BEGINS:
The North Adelaide Golf Course’s multimillion-dollar redevelopment will continue as planned if LIV Golf collapses, with the club’s president saying the tournament was not a central to the development plans.
It comes as LIV Golf organisers hold urgent crisis talks in New York amid reports the Saudi Arabian backers of the breakaway Golf league could pull their funding.
The tournament has been a massive drawcard for South Australia since it debuted at Grange Golf Club in 2023, and is expected to continue in the state until 2031 — at Kooyonga in 2027, and the newly redeveloped North Adelaide Golf Course from 2028.
The controversial $45m, 18-hole Greg Norman designed course plans were released in December, with hopes to bring LIV Golf closer to the Adelaide CBD.
Work on the golf course revamp, which includes a driving range, practice areas, and an upgrade to the clubroom facilities, is expected to commence in mid-2026.
With LIV Golf now allegedly facing uncertainty, North Adelaide Golf Club President Kevin Naughton said it wouldn’t make any difference to the club’s plans as the tournament was only around for one week of the year.
“LIV Golf is not a key part of the puzzle so much,” he said.
“It’s the same concept as Gather Round … it’s based on the tourism experiences that go with it, and that’s what makes it work,” Mr Naughton said.
“It generates economic activity. But outside of the major event for the other 50 weeks of the year, (a redeveloped North Adelaide Golf Course) will still generate recreational based activity, and tourism based activity.”
Mr Naughton said even if the tournament did collapse — which he said it most likely wouldn’t — the project was about creating a public course for a sport that had a history of exclusivity, that could also hold international events.
“You’ve got Golf Australia, PGA, DP World Tour, or you can create your own event. I can see that maybe a different version of LIV might emerge,” he said.
“What’s happened at Grange over the last four years has shown what can be done with golf in SA.
“It’s not a question of if it might work, we know it works. So even without LIV, something will work.”
State Development Minister Chris Picton backed the decision to go forward with the North Adelaide Golf Course redevelopment on Thursday morning.
He said the government had received assurances from LIV Golf organisers that the tournament would continue
“I’ve obviously seen the media speculation, which is all it is at this stage,” Mr Picton said.
“LIV have given assurances to the government that there is no change from their perspective, but we wait to see if there’s further changes that happen.”
Deputy Premier Kyam Maher refused to “add to the speculation” but said “what happens to LIV Golf will play out”.
He said LIV Golf was a “fantastic event”, however, “we have so many fantastic events in South Australia”.
“I think every South Australian should be very proud of how the nation now sees us, and particularly with MotoGP as of next year, how the world will see us here,” he said.
Adelaide City Council, which has also been involved in discussions about the redevelopment project, was contacted but had no comment ahead of any official announcement.
More than 100,000 people attended LIV Golf 2026 at Grange Golf Club after it expanded to a four-day festival from the previous three days.

Picton is in charge
The cost will probably double

Is the North Adelaide Golf Course being closed on Monday?
Apparently, they are fencing the entire thing off for the impending redevelopment.
