Article Summary:
Golf fans have been reacting to news of LIV Golf’s record attendance figures from Adelaide as well as some hilarious footage of ‘The Granny Shack’. The LIV Golf Adelaide tournament drew a record attendance of 94,000 fans over three days of action at The Grange Golf Club in Australia. The success of the tournament has been attributed to its party element and alcohol-fueled vibe, as well as high-profile players participating.
Greg Norman, CEO of LIV Golf, considers the event a success in helping ‘grow the game’ in Australia. The tournament was won by Brendan Steele, while the team event was won by Ripper GC, led by captain Cameron Smith. The Watering Hole on the 12th hole and a live set by DJ Fisher also contributed to the event’s popularity.
Hilarious footage emerged of fans dressing up in ‘The Granny Shack’ and engaging in lively activities. Critics of the event believe the main draw for fans is the party atmosphere rather than the golf itself. The event is seen as a missed opportunity by the PGA Tour for not capitalizing on similar party elements.
