LIV Golf has caused quite the commotion in the world of golf with the recent announcement of a “Party Hole” at their forthcoming tournament in Adelaide. The contentious move has garnered criticism from some who assert that the breakaway circuit is imitating their PGA Tour counterparts. However, despite the hullabaloo, LIV Golf anticipates that a packed crowd of 60,000 people will attend the event, rendering it one of the most substantial tournaments yet.
The Par-3 12th hole at The Grange Golf Club will be transformed into the Watering Hole, boasting a live DJ, multiple bars, and a lively atmosphere. Golfers will also have the chance to select their own walk-out song as they approach the tee. The Party Hole is expected to be the highlight of the tournament, offering an exhilarating and exceptional experience for both players and spectators alike.
LIV Golf has faced criticism for appearing to emulate the well-known 16th hole at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, which is recognized for its rowdy ambiance and festive vibe. Nevertheless, LIV CEO Greg Norman has defended the move, stating that the Party Hole is about bringing a fun and exciting element to the game of golf while drawing in a new generation of fans.
The Party Hole takes center stage

The Par-3 12th hole at The Grange Golf Club will be the main focus of the upcoming LIV Golf tournament in Adelaide. The Party Hole will feature a live DJ, several bars, and an atmosphere befitting a great party. The golfers will be able to select their walk-out song, injecting an extra dose of thrill into the proceedings.
According to Mirror, the Party Hole has provoked censure from some who accuse LIV Golf of copying their PGA Tour rivals. Conversely, others view it as a welcome departure from the conventional and often rigid world of golf. With a sold-out crowd expected, the Party Hole is poised to be one of the highlights of the tournament, providing an unprecedented and thrilling experience for all those in attendance.
LIV Golf’s upcoming tournament in Adelaide has caused quite a buzz with the announcement of a “party hole” as Brooks Koepka, a two-time Phoenix Open champion, expressed his excitement for the party hole, which he believes will bring a unique atmosphere to the sport. The hole will also feature walk-out songs, with Koepka choosing Meek Mill’s “Dreams and Nightmares” for his entrance.
However, the tournament’s new team format has received criticism from golf fans, who immediately pointed the finger at Patrick Reed when news broke of the groupings. Reed will be playing alongside Peter Uihlein and Pat Perez, with the remaining team members following in threesomes. This is the first time LIV Golf has implemented such a grouping format, and some fans are not happy with the change.
Despite the criticism, LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman defended the party hole, stating that it is about bringing excitement and fun to the sport and attracting a new generation of fans. Only time will tell if the party hole and new team format will be successful, but it’s clear that the changes have stirred up a lot of conversation in the golfing world.
