“Golf is a force for good!” - Greg Norman says the 2024 LIV Golf Adelaide event’s ticket sales have been ‘unprecedented’

LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman recently opened up about the 'unprecedented' sale of tickets at the 2023 Adelaide tournament. The Saudi circuit had one of its most successful outings in Adelaide in 2023 and as the tickets were put on sale, within 24 hours, 80 per cent of the tickets were sold.

Norman spoke about the Adelaide tournament tickets in his recent interview with the Australian Golf Digest. He said:

"I’ve been following the numbers by the hour and it’s unprecedented. In the first 24 hours of hospitality going on-sale, we had sold two-and-half-times more tickets than last year in that same time period."

"In total, 80 percent of our hospitality allocation has already sold out. Not surprisingly, Adelaide is again leading the world on showing the real value of LIV Golf and the impact it delivers. Golf is a force for good," he added.

LIV Golf concluded its second season in October and the series has finally unveiled its plan for the upcoming season. The Adelaide tournament will take place from April 26 to 28 at the Grange Golf Club next year.
