LIV Golf\u2019s Adelaide tournament will shift location when the Greg Norman redesign of the North Adelaide course is completed for the 2028 event.<\/p>\n
The redeveloped course on the fringe of Adelaide\u2019s central business district has also been earmarked as a host of the women\u2019s Australian Open, which SA will host for the next three years.<\/p>\n
And SA Premier Peter Malinauskas wants to add the men\u2019s national open \u2013 to be hosted in Victoria for the next two years \u2013 to his state\u2019s roster of golf tournaments.<\/p>\n

The redevelopment of North Adelaide, currently the site of three public courses, will start in April.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a timeline that is \u2026. ambitious,\u201d Malinauskas said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut everything thus far is on track and we\u2019re really excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Malinauskas was flanked by LIV Golf\u2019s chief executive Scott O\u2019Neil at a media conference at the Grange Golf Club, which is currently hosting its last LIV tournament.<\/p>\n
Adelaide has secured hosting rights for a LIV tournament until 2031. The event will move to Adelaide\u2019s Kooyonga course next year before shifting again to North Adelaide in 2028.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Sydney, they\u2019ve got a golf course (Moore Park) in the city and they\u2019re halving it, which I\u2019m grateful for,\u201d Malinauskas said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause it will mean that we\u2019re the only place in the country that has got a golf course in the city.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce we take that golf course and turn it into an elite golf course, it will be a legacy for the state forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
Malinauskas said North Adelaide would host the women\u2019s Australian Open, a LIV tournament \u201cand maybe another tournament here or there.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have got eyes on the (men\u2019s) Aussie Open,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the rest of the time it\u2019s the people of South Australia paying public golf course prices for a course that will be at the standard that other members have to pay thousands of dollars a year to get access to.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that\u2019s magnificent \u2026 and the people in Sydney who won\u2019t be able to play in Moore Park anymore, they can come and play in Adelaide, too. Except we\u2019re going to charge you like a wounded bull \u2013 and that\u2019s the truth.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s going to be a South Australian taxpayer price (at North Adelaide) and then there\u2019s going to be a rest-of-the-country price. And we\u2019re going to charge as much as we can get away with.\u201d<\/p>\n
