The season will open in Riyadh on the first weekend in February before going to Adelaide, followed by events in Hong Kong and Singapore in March.

Premier Peter Malinauskas made the announcement on Wednesday, highlighting a potential clash with the US Masters.

“We promised a bigger and better LIV Golf Adelaide in 2024 and we delivered, for the fans, for the players, and for our State’s economy,” he said.

“The resounding success of LIV Golf Adelaide continues to cement our state’s reputation as the best place in the nation to host blockbuster events – and I cannot wait for LIV to go even bigger and better again in February 2025.”
