LIV Golf to Sydney? | Across the Divide! (28.04.26)

28 Apr 2026

Transcription

What recent developments have impacted LIV Golf events?

0.031 - 17.891 Andrew Voss

One other thing this morning on our charts here on the front office in Sydney, Live Golf. Are you aware of that? So if Louisiana, they're talking about the tournament in New Orleans is going to be called off. There's been no response from Live, but the Louisiana government have said, we're not putting up our $7 million funding for this event. It's postponed. It's gone.

18.352 - 32.045 Andrew Voss

So that means between June 7 and July 23, no Live Golf. Around two majors. Like... It's the death, isn't it? It's the death of live golf. If you doubted it the other week, you're getting confirmation now.

32.065 - 50.507 Gerard Whateley

Yeah, that is confirmation of a failing product. And it also, I mean, what it does for those golfers is, as you rightly point out, around two majors, if there's no competition. At all. Yeah. So when you lose the faith of those who have been stumping up the money, because the money's not going to get stumped up.

Can I just throw something really left field into it? And we can finish on this. And I will push Melbourne for this. Do you reckon we could fill the breach of Louise? It's end of June. So last week of June. So we've got two months to prepare. Do you reckon we could say to Liv, we could get this on quickly?

67.919 - 68.099 Gerard Whateley

Yeah.

68.119 - 68.821 Andrew Voss

Do you reckon we could do it?

68.841 - 69.863 Gerard Whateley

Put it at the Australian?

70.028 - 81.244 Andrew Voss

Just say Australia have a second event. There's your answer, Live Golf. Come down here. Would the governments put a bit of money up? Adelaide, would they want to? Would Melbourne come forward with the Victorian government?

81.264 - 93.302 Gerard Whateley

That's a good question because when the Grand Prix fell over in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, Adelaide pushed and said, Jay, do you want to come here? We could set a track up for you. So a little opening in the schedule.
