Liv Golf League is probably looking forward to going to Australia.
The beginnings of Liv Golf in 2025 are in the books, Adrian Méronk winning the individual title after having drawn 17 under the Riyad Golf Club to win for the first time on the League supported by Saoudie. Meronk, who plays for Cleeks GC, passed Jon Rahm and Sebastian Munoz by two fire for the individual title.
Meronk was a winner of the wire wire, and although he temporarily lost his head solo on the nine rear in the final, his victory was never really in question. He found himself on several shots for most of the weekend, and in the end, he brings back the equipment and $ 4 million check.
The team competition was even more an eruption, with the Legion XIII of Rahm, by far the best golf franchise liv on paper, winning by 11 shots, reaching 50 under the peer. This year, Liv Golf has changed its format so that the four players’ scores have three daysAnd Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton and Tom McKibbin are the best trio on Liv.
Perhaps the most interesting part of Liv Golf’s opening week was to play under the lights. Night Golf was a solid watch on television, even if many people connected.
The final numbers are likely to be higher, but Liv Golf has an average of 12,000 viewers for its opening television on Thursday on FS2.
Yes, only 12,000. This number is smaller than the number of fans who will be at Liv Golf Adelaide next week and less than that of the 16th hole at the WM Phoenix Open of the PGA Tour this weekend.
The number is however a little delicate. FS2 is in fewer houses through the United States than the CW, so that the audience should not be out of this world. However, it is 117 times less viewers than the last YouTube video by Bryson Dechambeau (1.4 million).

Do not be afraid, the Golf Liv application was another avenue to watch the fans. Or not.
Many fans commented on social media on problems with Liv Golf streaming service all week, especially worldwide, and fans who wanted to connect did not have the opportunity to look.
Perhaps a larger shock was to know how much the few people were in Liv Golf Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. There was no atmosphere outside the fans village, and although Riyadh was not known to be a crazy city of golf, he had the impression that the tournament was disputed at the height of Covid-19.
After an offseason where Liv Golf failed to attract the big stars of the PGA Tour and many of its big movements came from behind the scenes, the league could have used a strong week to launch the year and prove that the Golf Liv was a force to be counted in the golf world. It did not happen.
Now Liv Golf goes to Adelaide, a site for what has become its renowned tournament in the past two years. The league needs a big week – and a big name – to win and take a certain momentum when the season works.
