Another day another set of defections to livv golf as more and more seasoned PGA Tour jump ships the new league is gearing up to host its tournament events in full swing this time livv has set its eyes on Australian courses for its events motivated by its recent picks of
Cam Smith and other Aussie golfers what does this decision mean for the League’s future let’s find out for starters the Saudi back tour is taking its tournaments to Australia first it was Aussie players and now Australian golf courses we see a pattern here yes it’s official the Saudi back league is busy
Scouting some of the best Australian courses to host one of Greg Norman’s golf events what events you ask well the shark announced that it would be a part of 14 events in 2023 around the world and will also include stops across North and Latin America Asia Australia the
Middle East and Europe looks like the tour is already going all out according to the Australian Gulf digest the events down under are set to take place in Sydney in the years before the pandemic the Australian golf club and the lakes had hosted Australian opens so we bet
PGA isn’t too happy with the new plans following up Norman’s plans for the tour are too big for just the usual English courses before the third Li event in New Jersey Norman went ahead and revealed his plans to expand his new Venture but the pro was adamant that his tour won’t
Compete with the majors international team events or Heritage events nope he had other big Ambitions for the league in fact its franchise model is aiming to bring in more fans from all corners of the world this is clearly an effort to distinguish itself from its rival PGA
Tour which usually hosted most of its events in the US it’s no surprise then that the new competition is setting itself apart by expanding its tour locations and establishing a league that’s more globally connected for this the new look livv tour will include the golf league with 48 players and 12
Established team franchises that will stay the same throughout the year up next the huge number of Aussie players signed up with livv also comes into play here another thing that attracts PGA Pros to the Norman backed series is that captains will be able to build their franchise for attracting fans and
Sponsors of course the biggest factor that pushed livv to shift to Australia is the golf champion Cameron Smith officially signing up with the new series last Tuesday the rumors finally turned out to be true about the world’s number two joining the Saudi funded tour yes money was a huge motivator he got
$100 million after all but the player had also expressed before his desire to play in his home country shifting major tournament events to Australia not only makes Smith look like less of a sellout in the public eyes but also lets the Saudi back tour keep their most prized
Player happy win-win right what’s more is that we might be looking at an all Aussie team too yes maybe the new tour will give fans what they’ve always wanted an exclusive team of Australian players if anyone can do it it’s got to be livv not only does it have Cam Smith
But fellow Aussie golfers Adam Scott and Mark lman also made the move from PGA to the new golf circuit imagine an all Aussie team among the 12 franchises not to mention Greg Norman himself is an Australian and very familiar with a Australian golf venues the brookwater project for instance is something he’d
Been betting his money on since its early days and did we forget to mention he’s also the designer of the course with Australian venues Aussie players and an Aussie Pro holding the Reigns we’re sure Norman’s thinking what all fans have been hoping for up next which Australian golf courses are livv golf
Gunning for from what we know a Springfield Golf Course is definitely top of the list for lv’s potential venues for next year in fact they’re already in talks with the developer Springfield City Group now this developer owns the brookwater golf and country club and as revealed they met
With livv golf officials about venues for next year’s tournaments yes plans for Aussie golf courses are looking pretty solid Springfield’s Deputy chairman Bob sharpless told ABC radio brisbane’s Rebecca Livingstone that there had been a recent meeting with members of the tournament team the meeting was pretty detailed lasting for
Around 4 hours no wonder Mr sharess feels confident we’re definitely in the running he said he also confirmed that officials told them there’s a commitment to having a tournament in Australia in April next year so far they haven’t gotten any feedback from their last meeting many weeks ago but we’re
Convinced Australia is 100% the go-to venue for them next year let’s look at which Springfield projects look the most attractive for them right now of course there’s brookwater given the legendary face of the new series is Greg Norman and he designed the course himself could be good PR and marketing too if they
Play their cards right if we had to guess we’d say the brookwater golf course is number one on the list even the Australian Golf Digest associate Steven Kyper agrees with us he told ABC radio that brookwater is a strong Contender if they’re looking at a Queensland event but if they’ve Brisbane
In mind then obviously they also have a couple of good options at the Gold Coast too yes brookwater is not the only one they’ve scouted so far Mr sharis revealed that they visited three other courses in Queensland then one in New South Wales and one in Adelaide get this
Even the Queensland locations the blades and the Grand Golf Courses were both designed by Norman 2 looks like livv is not putting all its eggs in one basket as as of now Springfield’s prepping up its courses for a shotgun start turns out the scouting team has given them an
Idea of the numbers they’re hoping to achieve with an expected turnout of 25,000 per day with this Mr sharpless says they’re underway some Works around the course to allow the expected capacity what they’re hoping for is a course that allows this many people to move around fairly without being stuck
In one spot but he did mention that with no on-site accommodation the Aussie golf courses might have to start building it in the future in other news first up a PGA Tour veteran made a cheeky dig at Smith over missed weddings now that the British op’s champion has defected to
The dark side his former League’s missing no chance to shame him when cam Smith signed a deal of $100 million to join livv ahead of its Boston tournament this weekend he knew what he was signing up for Twitter drama and backhanded insults this time it was PGA Tour
Veteran Fred Couples who fired the shot Smith had told Golf Digest earlier this week that the biggest thing that made him jump ships was the chance to spend more time at home in Australia while he’s been living in the US for 7 years now he confessed it’s been tough missing
Friends weddings birthday parties and seeing his mates have a great time at the Rugby League games if Cam thought this was winning him any fans he was wrong funnily enough it did win him a subtle disc from the 1992 Masters champion who tweeted to all my friends
Who I missed birthdays and weddings so sorry I was busy earning a living on the PGA tour clearly he was pointing out how real competitive games involved earning their way to work and not accepting huge payouts to relax with friends over rugby matches he also cheekily added that by
Working on weekends he meant 72 holes we see what you did there couples next Hideki Matsuyama will not be joining the new golf circuit as rumored we might be having big names bolt away from the PGA Tour but for now Hideki matuyama is staying out on the OG tour there were
Many reports that guest the Japanese star would be shifting to livv after the tour season ended that too for a 9 fig deal but a source confirmed that the 2021 Master’s champ won’t be abandoning PGA the decision came to protect his legacy after all he was the first
Japanese to win the men’s Majors Championship a couple of million dollars isn’t enough for the 33-year-old to ditch his legacy lastly the golf icon savagely says Smith fell short of being a superstar no one’s say shocked by cam Smith’s decision to leave the PGA Tour as the golf icon Gary Player he said
That the Aussie Champion was Ill advised and cost himself a place in history where he could have come out as a superstar the player himself has won nine majors and might not blame Stevenson for making the move because he had no money Smith on the other hand had
The potential to be a superstar but player thinks playing for 54 holes with no cut isn’t competitive enough to make a champion now if the 29-year-old will regret it or not only time will tell and that’s a wrap for this video which Australian Golf Course do you think is
