LIV Golf Adelaide returns to summer timeslot in 2026
LIV Golf Adelaide, the event that is redefining what it means to experience golf, will return to The Grange Golf Club from 13–15 February 2026 for another unforgettable summer showcase where sport, culture, and entertainment collide.
Two-time award winner of World’s Best Golf Event, LIV Golf Adelaide has drawn more than 260,000 fans to The Grange since its inception in 2023.
Demand for tickets is expected to reach new heights, and fans can now be the first to secure limited three-day grounds passes and Club 54 tickets as part of today's first-round release to experience South Australia’s sporting spectacle that fuses elite competition with live music, fan-first access, and unmatched energy.
Australia’s own Ripper GC, the 2024 LIV Golf Team Champions captained by major winner Cam Smith, will again lead the charge for the home crowd. The all-Aussie squad will compete amongst 13 teams going for glory over the three-day event at The Grange while the 54-player field also battles it out for the individual title.
Earlier this year, the tournament’s debut summer timeslot delivered unprecedented results for South Australia including record attendance, economic impact, iconic moments and global broadcast numbers that amplified the state’s reputation as a destination for world-class sport and entertainment.
In just three years, the LIV Golf Adelaide event has contributed more than $217 million to South Australia’s economy, with the 2025 edition generating a record $81.46 million, up 14 per cent on the previous year. A total of 102,483 people attended LIV Golf Adelaide across the three days from 14 to 16 February and contributed a total of 86,530 visitor nights – both figures up 9 per cent on the previous year.
LIV Golf Adelaide 2025 had a broadcast global household reach of 785 million across more than 100 territories, exceeding the 2024 results by more than 50 per cent and almost tripled that of 2023.
The final day of play also welcomed the announcement that Adelaide will be the exclusive home of LIV Golf in Australia with an extension agreement through to 2031, linked to plans to redevelop the North Adelaide Golf Course, transforming the facility into one of the world’s best public golf courses.

Ripper GC Captain, Cam Smith said "Adelaide has been our pinnacle event with LIV Golf for the past few years, and it’s always special going home and having our Aussie crowd behind us – they’ve been great to us."
"The event keeps getting better every year and we are so excited to know we'll be coming back for many years to come. We can't wait for this year's event in Adelaide, which I’m sure next year will be even bigger,” Mr Smith said.
Ripper GC star, Marc Leishman said it’s a highlight of the year for Ripper GC.
"It’s our home event, and to play in front of the home crowd is amazing. We enjoy everything about it, so I’m really looking forward to getting back there and hopefully getting another win," Mr Leishman said.
“Seeing some of the best golfers in the world playing in Australia is amazing for Australian fans and the game back home. Aussies love a good time, and it’s a big week for that – being able to party and watch world-class golf at the same time is a pretty good reason to head to Adelaide I’d say. And the home fans have definitely embraced it.”
LIV Golf Chief Marketing Officer, Adam Harter said LIV Golf Adelaide is the blueprint for golf’s next era. It’s more than a tournament, it’s a global celebration where competition, culture, and community collide.
“We’ve proven that when you make golf more accessible, you unlock new fans, new markets, and unforgettable moments," Mr Harter said.
“South Australia has embraced our bold vision, and together we’ve created a summer icon that’s redefining the future of the sport. We have no doubt that 2026 will be even bigger.”
