The debut of LIV Golf — the Saudi-backed league that has snagged golfers from the PGA Tour — in Australia has now been followed by mixed reviews.
It didn’t leave the best impression at The Grange Golf Club.
According to The Advertiser, an outlet based in Australia, the course will have “six months” of effects from the tournament at the end of April, which featured a “Watering Hole” at No. 12.
It reportedly led to some unhappy club members amid compliments surrounding the event, according to Golf Digest.
The environment at the Adelaide tournament, according to videos from the weekend, appeared to be raucous, especially at the Par 3 “Watering Hole.”
But photos from the weekend also showed an immense amount of garbage on the course, with the containers’ liquids flying through the air.
At one point, Chase Koepka, the younger brother of Brooks Koepka, sank a hole-in-one and was showered by hundreds of cups and cans from spectators surrounding the hole.
“I smelled like beer the whole entire rest of the day,” Koepka said, according to Golf Digest. “Yeah, it was wild. Crazy experience. I mean, obviously to do it on a hole like that was super special.”
According to Sports Illustrated, a DJ chugged a drink out of a shoe during the event, too.
The Grange Golf Club’s general manager told The Advertiser that emails, phone calls and letters were sent to the club to congratulate them “for delivering the event.”
Talor Gooch won the LIV Golf Invitational Adelaide event, which was held April 21-23, and he also won the league’s most recent event — the LIV Golf Invitational Singapore.
The next event, which will be held this weekend at Cedar Ridge Country Club, will mark the league’s return to the United States, where events in Oklahoma, West Virginia, New Jersey, Illinois, Florida and Washington, D.C. will be hosted at various points over the next six months.
