Golf Australia Partners with LIV Golf to Support Junior Program

The new partnership marks Golf Australia's first formal affiliation with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf, aiming to make junior golf more accessible.

Golf Australia has entered into a partnership with LIV Golf to subsidize its junior program, making golf more affordable for young Australians.
The deal involves LIV's Australian franchise, Ripper GC, led by Cameron Smith, and is set to be announced alongside a LIV tournament in Adelaide.
This collaboration represents Golf Australia's initial major step towards integrating with the controversial LIV tour, which is funded by Saudi Arabia's public investment fund.
Despite ongoing global controversies, LIV Golf continues to expand, with Greg Norman highlighting the Adelaide event as a model for future tournaments.
The partnership has stirred mixed reactions due to differing global perspectives on Saudi investments in sports.
