Norman mentioned that LIV Golf Adelaide's first edition demonstrated that the global audience was embracing the upstart league, breathing new life into the sport.

He was quoted as saying by LIV Golf:

"It was the highlight tournament of our league’s first official season and a historic demonstration of competition, entertainment and fanfare that golf fans deserve.
"South Australia knows how to put on a show, and we look forward to seeing The Grange Golf Club set yet another elevated benchmark for the league as we raise the bar even higher in 2024.”

As per the YouGov Sport report, the event witnessed 43,253 visitor nights in Adelaide, with approximately 77,076 fans attending. 41% of the tickets were purchased by individuals from other states, and fans from 37 countries visited Adelaide during the tournament.

He said, as per LIV Golf:

"With dates now set for 2024, I have no doubt there will be many excited fans from interstate and overseas booking their trip to South Australia.
"Hosting the nation’s first LIV Golf tournament and playing home to the now legendary hole-in-one by Chase Koepka at our iconic watering hole, these history-making moments got people looking at Adelaide and talking about our state."
