Greg Norman’s Legacy Still Drives LIV Golf’s Future
LIV Golf continues to make waves in the global golf scene, and Greg Norman's influence remains undeniable. Even though he has stepped down as CEO, his impact is still deeply woven into the league’s success, particularly in Australia. The recent developments around LIV Golf Adelaide show just how important the event has become—not just for Australian golf but for the league’s international ambitions.
New LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil has made it clear: Adelaide is a key part of their plans, and they intend to keep it that way. He acknowledges the immense interest from other Australian states and even international locations trying to host a LIV Golf event. However, Adelaide has set the gold standard, and O’Neil believes its world-class golf course, vibrant atmosphere, and enthusiastic crowds make it the perfect host city.

South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas is equally determined to keep the event where it belongs. He recognizes the challenge of retaining a major sporting spectacle in a competitive landscape where other states could swoop in with lucrative deals. He has drawn parallels to the past, where South Australia built up events only to see them taken away—like the Formula 1 Grand Prix, which moved to Melbourne. This time, he’s committed to keeping LIV Golf Adelaide on home turf.
O’Neil, who has been working closely with the Saudi Public Investment Fund and the PGA Tour on future agreements, sees the momentum building for LIV Golf. He calls Greg Norman a "gift" to the league, acknowledging that Norman’s deep knowledge and vision continue to shape LIV’s long-term plans. While Norman may no longer be at the helm, his role as a board member ensures that his strategic influence remains strong.
Brooks Koepka, one of LIV’s biggest stars, has also spoken out about the league’s evolving position in the golf world. With major championships now offering new exemptions for LIV players, it’s clear that the tour is becoming a more recognized part of the sport. Koepka sees this as just the beginning, emphasizing that the growing legitimacy of LIV Golf will only enhance its appeal to players and fans alike.
LIV Golf Adelaide has already produced some unforgettable moments—none bigger than Chase Koepka’s thrilling hole-in-one at the famous "watering hole" in 2023. These highlights, combined with strong backing from both local and global stakeholders, suggest that LIV Golf is not only here to stay but ready to expand its influence.
As the negotiations and strategies unfold, one thing is clear: Greg Norman’s vision for LIV Golf remains alive and well. Whether as a CEO or a board member, his mission to revolutionize the sport continues to drive the league forward. Adelaide has become a cornerstone of that vision, and if the current leadership has its way, it will remain that way for a long time to come.
