LIV Golf went global this week, debuting in Australia. The LIV Adelaide event is LIV’s fourth event of 2023 and first outside North America.
On the teams front, the top three teams will split the $5 million prize money between them. While the winning team gets $3 million, the runner-up will take $1.5 million and the third-placed team will get $500,000. It is also pertinent to note that LIV Golf is not yet eligible for Official World Golf Ranking points.
After opening with two 62s, the RangeGoats player held on Sunday for his first LIV Golf win. The 4Aces surged to the team title.
The all-Aussie team, Ripper GC, captained by Cam Smith, was the fan favorite but the winners leaving town are Talor Gooch of RangeGoats GC and the 4Aces. Gooch held on with a 1 over final round after opening with a pair of 62s, and the all-American 4Aces team beat the RangeGoats by one shot for the team prize.
