LIV GOLF – RIYADH 2026

FEB 04-07, 2026

GMAC put together a positive, confidence-boosting week at Riyadh 2026, finishing T27 after four rounds of composed, under-par golf. An even-par opening round set a steady foundation, and from there he steadily built momentum as the tournament unfolded.

The standout moment came in Round 2, where GMAC fired a brilliant six-under-par score to surge up the leaderboard. He followed that with rounds of −4 and −2, showing consistency, control, and an ability to keep applying pressure through the weekend.

On the team side, Smash GC delivered a strong collective performance, finishing 6th overall on −52. The team posted scores of −10, −20, −14, and −8 across the four rounds, with the explosive second round proving decisive in climbing the standings. GMAC’s scoring played an important role in that push, contributing valuable momentum during the key middle rounds.

Signing off at −12 for the tournament, GMAC leaves Riyadh with solid individual form and a positive team result alongside Smash GC — a week defined by steady scoring, teamwork, and plenty to build on going forward. ⛳🔥

2025-08-27T13:16:38+01:00August 27th, 2025|

AUG 22-25, 2025

The 2025 LIV Golf season concluded in style with the Team Championship in Michigan. Smash GC battled hard right to the final hole, delivering a combined score of -18 on the day to secure an impressive 4th place finish in the season-ending showdown. It was a performance full of grit, teamwork, and determination,  a proud way to close out the season and a strong statement heading into 2026.

THE COURSE

Some courses become legendary over time. It takes years of intense competition and clutch moments for them to earn their greatness.

And other courses? They’re just built that way. Right away, and the Cardinal at Saint John’s is most definitely one of them. Framed by centuries-old trees and practically flooded with shimmering lakes, this brand-new course in the Detroit suburb of Plymouth is championship by design.

The Cardinal has been chosen to host the LIV Golf Team Championship decider in 2025, so let’s take a closer look at what players and fans can expect.

Course Stats: 6980 Yards, Par 70.

LIV GOLF – INDIANAPOLIS 2025

2025-08-18T09:43:30+01:00August 18th, 2025|

AUG 15-17, 2025

Graeme was back firing this week coming home in T14 place at The Club at Chatham Hills, USA. On Friday, G-Mac bounced back strongly, recovering from a bogey on the 17th (his 4th) with a streak of three birdies on 7, 8 and 9 (his 12th, 13th, 14th), then adding another on the 13th (his 17th) to close the day at -3.

He stepped it up further on Saturday, firing a five-under round that featured seven birdies against just two dropped shots. On Sunday, Graeme carried the momentum, racing to five under through his first ten holes. A bogey on the 16th (his 13th) was quickly offset with a birdie at the 3rd (his 17th), securing back-to-back rounds of five under par.

This solid T14 finish was a timely boost after a couple of quieter weeks, while Team Smash GC ended the event in 10th place overall with a score of -4 -7 -16, Total -27

THE COURSE

Whisper the name ‘Pete Dye’ and you’re likely to strike fear into the hearts of golfers everywhere. After all, this is the guy who created Whistling Straits and Sawgrass. The guy who redefined the terrifying par 3.

Chatham Hills, north of Indianapolis, is Dye’s last great course. The one he considered his masterpiece. Each subtle slope has been sculpted into a sneaky trap, and there are watery jaws all over the property, just waiting to devour a wayward drive.

It’s a fitting place to crown the new LIV Golf Individual Champion. and we’re likely to see some superb golf as the players battle for those all-important final spots, which will determine who stays in the league, who goes, and who gets a new contract with their team.

Now, let’s take a closer look at the host venue, and the architect who made it all possible.

LIV GOLF – CHICAGO 2025

2025-08-18T09:01:22+01:00August 11th, 2025|

AUG 08-10, 2025

A week to forget for G-Mac in Chicago. It was one of those weeks where it just wasn’t happening, as he finished T52 at +8 (72, 75, 74). Graeme opened with a +1, 72 – his best round of the tournament. Saturday’s card was all pars apart from four bogeys, while Sunday mirrored that pattern, brightened by a birdie on the 18th (his 5th hole of the day). With two LIV events remaining, Graeme will be aiming to recapture the early-season form that saw him shine. Smash GC finished T8 at +1 (–2, +5, –2), delivering good scoring on both Friday and Sunday.

THE COURSE

Located just an hour outside Chicago in one of the great city’s most beautiful suburbs, Bolingbrook Golf Club was the vision of Roger Claar, the former Mayor of Bolingbrook, who wanted to create a new focal point for his community.

The course is elite by any measure, with designer Arthur Hills creating signatures everywhere: the island green par-3, the 600-yard par 5, the lakes shimmering all over the property. But elitist? Definitely not. Green fees are extremely affordable, and there are five sets of tees, so players of all abilities can find the right level of tough.

Bolingbrook opened in 2002 and immediately earned rave reviews, being named one of Golf Magazine’s ‘Top 10 You Can Play.’ And the gold has kept coming ever since: in 2024, it was named one of the top 50 public courses in the country by the Golf Range Association of America.

Course Stats: 7141 Yards, Par 71.

LIV GOLF – UK 2025

JUL 11-13, 2025

It was a challenging and somewhat disappointing week for Graeme at the immaculate JCB Golf and Country Club, set against the stunning backdrop of JCB’s UK headquarters in Rocester.

While the tournament presented its challenges, G-Mac showed resilience and determination throughout. After a tough start with a couple of early bogeys on Day 1, he battled back to finish the round at +1. Despite a +3 on Day 2, Graeme stayed focused and delivered his best performance on Sunday, carding a solid 1-under round to finish the week at +3 and in a tie for 47th place.

The highlight of the week was undoubtedly the incredible support from the UK crowd. Their energy and enthusiasm created a fantastic atmosphere and made it a truly special event, despite the testing conditions on the course.

THE COURSE

Some venues are made to host world-class golf. And the JCB Golf and Country Club is certainly one of them. Designed by renowned architect Robin Hiseman and driven by Lord Bamford, chairman of the JCB construction empire, this is a course that’s championship by design: practically every hole is a signature, but if you twisted our arm, we’d probably say the island green is our favorite.

It’s a perfect LIV Golf venue too, with ample room for concerts, DJ booths and our famous Fan Village, all in the grounds of an ancient stately home. Honestly, it couldn’t be better if we’d built it ourselves.

Course Stats: 7301 Yards, Par 71.

LIV GOLF – DALLAS 2025

June 06-08, 2025

Graeme finished in a tie for 35th at Maridoe Golf Club in Dallas, showing some solid golf along the way. He continued his good form on the opening day with an excellent two-under 70, leaving him just three shots off the lead. On Saturday, after a couple of early bogeys, he showed real determination to bounce back with birdies at the 6th and 7th, and added another at the 10th to get back to level for much of the round. Despite a few late dropped shots, he battled to a two-over finish for the day. Sunday’s hot Dallas conditions proved testing for the Port Rush man, with Graeme ultimately closing with a +6 round to finish +6 overall.

Team Score: SMASH GC finished in 13th position with a score of +42 (+15, +7, +20)

THE COURSE

When you think of Texas, you automatically think big, right? The food, the parties, the vast plains and endless fields… everything is on a different scale here. And at Maridoe Golf Club on the outskirts of Dallas, you’ll find golf in XXL.

Built over 200 acres of prairie land, the course tops out at over 7,800 yards. Billionaire owner Albert Huddleston is not afraid to challenge golfing tradition (he’s even built a croquet court on the property) so he’s a perfect fit for us.

The Maridoe hosted LIV Golf in 2024 and this time we’re coming right in the peak of the season. This sun-drenched Texan showdown could play a crucial role in determining the destiny of the championships, so let’s look at what the players can expect.

Course Stats: 7543 Yards, Par 72.
