South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas was delighted to welcome another major sporting event to his state.
"Securing the first Australian LIV Golf tournament is an exciting coup for South Australia," Malinauskas said.
"As Premier, I am determined to lure more major events to South Australia, which means more visitors, more economic activity and more jobs.
"This is exactly what our economy needs as we emerge from the pandemic, in particular our hospitality sector which has done it tough over the past couple of years.
"LIV Golf will bring some of the world’s best golf players to SA for an event the likes of which our country has never seen before."
USA star Dustin Johnston was the individual champion and money winner in the 2022 series, while 4 Aces GC, featuring Johnson, Talor Gooch, Pat Perez and Patrick Reed, were the team champions.
Tickets are already available for the event at LIVGolf.com, with special early bird pricing for single-day passes and three-day passes.
