The Story in 60 Seconds

South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas announced that Adelaide will not host future LIV Golf tournaments without a confirmed high-quality field. Speaking on radio station SEN, Malinauskas stated that retaining top stars like Cameron Smith and Bryson DeChambeau is essential to maintaining the standard of past tournaments, with a definitive decision expected within two to three weeks.

The ultimatum comes amid major uncertainty for LIV Golf 2.0 following the departures of Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton. While Adelaide holds a host contract through 2031, future participation remains unclear as reports indicate Dustin Johnson and nine other players are negotiating unpaid contracts with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
