LIV’s event in Australia was a big success, as hordes of fans rushed to Adelaide’s The Grange Golf Club to catch their favorite golfers in action. From tens of thousands of spectators to a party hole with a DJ, it was a spectacle unlike any other.

Recently, however, reports surfaced that some members of the host club were unhappy with its condition post-event. This has brought the Saudi-backed league under further scrutiny. Now, the golf club itself has responded to the claims, inciting diverse reactions from fans.

Adelaide’s The Grange responds to LIV Golf criticism

The excitement surrounding LIV Adelaide was so much so that it even took the players in the league by surprise. Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, and Cam Smith were among the many LIV pros who expressed satisfaction with the event’s success.

But, LIV became the topic of controversy yet again after a report from an Adelaide-based “The Advertiser” came to light. Per the news outlet, all the beer around the watering hole and temporary installations had caused much deterioration of the course.

Fans express disappointment over treatment of LIV Golf

It isn’t the first time LIV Golf has found itself at the center of a controversy. This time, however, many golf fans have spoken out in support of the league. One fan even commended the Saudi-backed faction for bringing forth better-quality events.

Another fan showered praise on Australian Golf Digest for sharing the “real story.” They even aimed a jibe at the rival PGA Tour, which has been involved in an ugly battle with LIV for months.

The initial reporting of the event has also received considerable flak from golf enthusiasts. One fan, in particular, had a strong response to the entire fiasco, saying that the organizers at The Grange deserved an apology.

LIV Golf will undoubtedly be happy with the outpouring of support from fans of the sport. After all, their rivalry with the PGA Tour is set to pick up steam with the year’s second Major taking place later this month.
