World-Class Golf Hits Adelaide Today

Adelaide becomes the epicenter of the golfing world today, Friday, 13 February 2026, as Round Two of the LIV Golf Adelaide tournament swings into action. Following an electric opening day at The Grange Golf Club, the competition intensifies as 13 global teams and 52 of the world’s most elite players battle for supremacy in what has become one of the most anticipated stops on the international sporting calendar.

Match Day Schedule

Fans heading to the western suburbs can expect a full day of elite sport and festival-style entertainment. The schedule for today’s play is as follows:

  • Venue: The Grange Golf Club, Grange
  • Gates & Fan Village Open: 9:00 AM
  • Hospitality Areas Open: 9:30 AM
  • Shotgun Start (Round 2): 11:45 AM
  • Post-Match Concert: Royel Otis (approx. 5:00 PM)

The Home Favorites: Ripper GC

Local support will undoubtedly be loudest for the all-Australian Ripper GC team. Captained by major winner Cameron Smith, the team includes fan favorites Marc Leishman, Lucas Herbert, and new recruit Elvis Smylie. After their historic victory in Adelaide previously, the Rippers are looking to consolidate their position on the leaderboard today. Smylie, a rising star in Australian golf, has already noted that the atmosphere in Adelaide is a unique highlight for the players, describing it as a "fandom at an all-time high."

A Festival Atmosphere

Beyond the fairways, the event continues to redefine professional golf with its "festival of sport" approach. The iconic 12th hole, famously known as 'The Waterhole,' is expected to be at capacity today, offering a stadium-like environment with music and grandstand seating. Once the final putts are dropped, the action shifts to the concert stage, where Australian indie-rock sensation Royel Otis will perform for ticket holders.

Spectators are reminded that all travel on Adelaide Metro bus, train, and tram services is free today for those holding a valid event ticket. With the shotgun start ensuring all players are on the course simultaneously, there will be high-stakes action across all 18 holes from the very first whistle.
