Speaking on the renewal Chris Jones, Seven Network's director of sport, stated: “Together with LIV, we have seen strong audience results on 7plus Sport, not just for the Adelaide event, but worldwide, and we’re thrilled to continue working with them to bring this incredible experience to fans in Australia.”
Australia has four representatives on the tour, Cameron Smith, Marc Leishman, Matt Jones, and Lucas Herbert, all of whom are members of Smith’s all-Australian Ripper GC team.
The tour will return to Australia between February 14 and 16, with the third edition of LIV Golf Adelaide at The Grange Golf Club.
Seven Network revealed that across the 2024 Adelaide event’s three days (April 26-28), over 2.7 million viewers watched in Australia across Seven and 7Plus.

Earlier in January LIV Golf revealed its 2025 calendar, one that spans nine countries and includes six new venues for the tour.
The season will begin on February 6 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a new destination for the tour.
Other new venues include Mexico City, at the Club de Golf Chapultepec (April 25-27), Incheon, (South Korea) between May 2 and 4, and Indianapolis in the US, in mid-August.
The tour’s showpiece finale, the Team Championship, will also take place at a new location for the tour in 2025, at The Cardinal at Saint John’s Resort in Michigan, US.
It had been reported that India could be in line to host a stop on the 2025 tour, but that has not come to fruition.
2025 is also likely to see the replacement of LIV Golf chief executive and commissioner Greg Norman, one of the competition’s main architects, by seasoned sports executive Scott O’Neill.
Norman’s contract with LIV runs through August 2025, and it is understood he expects to be replaced at that point.
