LIV Golf Heads to Las Vegas for the First Time, Offers Fans Chance to Play Vegas Course with Stars for Eye-Watering Price
LIV Golf, the breakaway league, is making its way to Las Vegas for the very first time this week. In the build-up to their second event of the season, fans have been given the incredible opportunity to play alongside the league’s stars.
LIV Golf fans who are willing to shell out just under £8,000 ($10k) will have the chance to compete in this week’s Pro-Am event at the renowned Las Vegas Country Club. Sin City is all set to host LIV’s second event of the season, creating a week filled with excitement as the Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers is also taking place on Sunday.
While general admission tickets come at a much more affordable price, with ground passes for Friday’s opening day starting at £37 ($47), those looking to play alongside their favorite LIV stars will need to dig deep into their pockets. Saturday and Sunday see a slight increase in ticket prices, with round two costing £40 ($51) and round three setting fans back £45 ($57).
For those willing to go above and beyond, hospitality packages are available for one day starting at £1,200 ($1.56k). LIV Golf is undoubtedly aiming to capitalize on the exciting start to the season they had last week in Mayakoba.
Last Sunday, with their PGA Tour rivals out of action due to the suspension of play at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, LIV Golf took center stage. The Saudi-backed league showcased a thrilling campaign opener that concluded with a tense four-hole playoff.
Joaquin Niemann, the 36-hole leader, emerged victorious as he defeated Sergio Garcia in near darkness to secure his first ever LIV Golf event win. With the Super Bowl just six miles away from this week’s event, the players are eagerly anticipating the electric Vegas atmosphere.
Bryson DeChambeau exclaimed his excitement to LIVGolf.com, saying, It’s going to be a special event. There’s going to be a lot of buzz around the city. It’s going to be a fun-filled event. It’s going to be electric. Dustin Johnson also shared his enthusiasm, stating, I think it’s going to be fantastic. It’s the week of the Super Bowl. Vegas is going to be buzzing.
Phil Mickelson, aiming to showcase exactly what the LIV product brings to the table, commented, LIV Golf Las Vegas is an opportunity to showcase what LIV Golf can bring to the U.S…. In the U.S., our demographic is much younger than the traditional golf fan. To be in Las Vegas the week of the Super Bowl, that’s the demographic we’re trying to hit.
As LIV Golf ventures into Las Vegas for the first time, fans have the chance to witness history and play alongside their favorite stars, albeit at a steep price. With the city buzzing, the excitement is palpable, and it promises to be an unforgettable event for both players and fans alike.
