The inaugural LIV Golf Adelaide tournament made its highly anticipated and overwhelmingly successful debut last weekend, welcoming capacity crowds to The Grange Golf Club while setting ground-breaking records on and off the course.
Held April 21-23, LIV Golf’s first event in Australia marked the introduction of the league’s innovative format in the Southern Hemisphere, with many players on LIV's star-studded roster playing on Australian soil for the first time, bringing elite golf to a previously starved market of over 25 million people. 
With an official attendance of 77,076, LIV Golf Adelaide firmly cemented its newly carved-out position in Australia’s landscape of major international sporting events. Numbers from on and off the green at LIV Golf Adelaide included: 

37 - Different countries represented by LIV Golf Adelaide ticket purchasers

10-under 62 - Score by winner Talor Gooch in rounds 1 and 2, breaking the record for best round related to par in LIV Golf history. Gooch’s 62 tied a LIV Golf record for lowest score, and he is the only player to shoot 62 twice.

47 - Strokes under par by 4Aces GC, a LIV Golf record for lowest team counting score, breaking the 45 under set last year by Fireballs GC in Bangkok

55 million - Number of video views on social media across league channels

116,978 - 12-ounce beers sold on-site

23,390 - Units of LIV Golf and team merchandise sold

Cameron Smith, captain of the all-Australian Ripper GC team said of the tournament: “I would go as far as to say this is the best event I’ve ever played.
“I think I’m probably biased a little bit being from Australia, but this is what LIV Golf is about.”
