LIV Golf is known for the «Happy Gilmore» type atmosphere it generates at its tournaments, and we saw one such moment on Sunday when Chase Koepka, the brother of four-time Grand Slam champion Brooks, hit a hole-in-one in Adelaide. in Australia.
Like Sam Ryder’s ace on the boisterous 16th hole of the 2022 Waste Management Phoenix Open, beer glasses, water bottles, and plenty of other debris splashed the tee, nearly everyone going wild.
The celebration caught the eye of none other than influential golfer Paige Spiranac, who loved what she saw.

The social media sensation took to Twitter to silence critics of the Saudi-backed tour and praised the league for its new flavor of normally secretive sport.
«It was electric, but what’s frustrating is all the shots I was seeing on social media,» Spiranac said in a since-deleted video via Facebook. New York Post. «People were saying too much music, too much fun. When did too much fun turn into a bad thing?»
«They said, ‘OK, you’re an adult now, you have responsibilities, a job you probably hate, you have to get married, have kids, financial burdens, and on top of that, no more fun.'» It’s ridiculous. Fun is allowed and should be encouraged, especially at sporting events. That’s why we go, to entertain ourselves. And let’s face it, it’s golf, it’s not that serious. They are not saving lives or shaping minds. They’re chasing a ball and hitting it with sticks, trying to get it into a hole,» he said.
