The\xa0Herald\xa0understands LIV Golf has been looking at the possibility of bringing a high-profile tournament to Christchurch Golf Club to New Zealand\u2019s second oldest club.\xa0

Christchurch Golf Club general manager Mike Hadley confirmed to the\xa0Herald\xa0that LIV Golf officials have \u201cvisited\u201d the course but as yet, \u201cthere\u2019s been no follow-up\u201d.\xa0

Jeff Latch, Golf NZ CEO, told Mike Hosking that the LIV event in Adelaide has really taken off, with LIV arguing that it\u2019s probably their best event around the world.\xa0

He said they understand they\u2019re looking to move that event from April to February, and while they\u2019re down in the Southern Hemisphere, there\u2019s potential for there to be New Zealand events adjacent to the Australian events.\xa0
