ADELAIDE, 15 February 2026 – The final round of LIV Golf Adelaide is currently underway at The Grange Golf Club, with the tournament reaching a fever pitch as world-class stars battle for the title. Today marks the conclusion of the second event of the 2026 season, which has seen record-breaking crowds and a significant shift in the league’s format to a four-day festival of golf.
Rahm and DeChambeau Lead Final Round Showdown
As of Sunday morning, the leaderboard is headlined by a heavyweight clash between Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau. Both players entered the final round tied at 19-under par. Rahm electrified the South Australian gallery yesterday with a walk-off eagle on the 18th hole to secure his share of the lead. DeChambeau, who has recently voiced his support for the league’s evolution, remains a formidable challenger after a consistent display of power hitting over the first three days.
The surprise story of the weekend is Anthony Kim. The 40-year-old, who returned to professional golf after a long hiatus, sits just five shots back at 14-under par. His performance has been described by fans and commentators as “inspirational,” marking his most competitive showing since joining the circuit.

Record Crowds and “The Watering Hole”
The 2026 edition has officially transitioned into a four-day festival format, incorporating Aboriginal art showcases and expanded food festivals. Organisers are targeting an attendance figure that exceeds last year’s record of 102,000 spectators. The “Watering Hole” (the par-3 12th) remains the centre of the action, with local fans providing a raucous atmosphere for Cameron Smith’s Ripper GC as they chase a podium finish on home soil.
While the atmosphere has been celebratory, there was a brief moment of drama on the opening day when a deadly Eastern Brown snake was spotted slithering through the spectator areas. Security and wildlife handlers managed the situation without incident, and play continued uninterrupted.
Future of LIV Golf in South Australia
The South Australian Government has solidified its commitment to the event, with an extension agreement ensuring Adelaide remains the exclusive Australian home of LIV Golf through 2031. However, 2026 marks the final year the tournament will be held at The Grange Golf Club. Starting in 2027, the event is expected to move to a new venue following the redevelopment of the North Adelaide Golf Course, a project backed by a $50 million government investment.
