Rahm’s blemish-free round highlighted a strong opening stretch for LIV Golf League‘s Adelaide event, the second stop of the 2026 season. The Spanish player’s consistency and precision with the putter have given him a commanding advantage as the field enters the weekend phase of competition.

## Fierce Competition at Pebble Beach
Across the Pacific, the PGA Tour’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am continues to attract the world’s elite players. Scottie Scheffler, the world number one, headlines the field competing on the iconic California coastline. The tournament, which carries a $20 million purse with $3.6 million for the victor, represents the first PGA Tour Signature Event of the season.
Title defender Rory McIlroy returns to defend his crown, while emerging star Chris Gotterup has captured attention with two victories in as many weeks. His back-to-back wins at the Sony Open and Phoenix Open have positioned him as a genuine threat. DACH representatives Stephan Jäger and Sepp Straka, a four-time PGA Tour winner, are competing alongside Matti Schmid.
## Record Pursuits and Veteran Excellence
Meanwhile, legendary German golfer Bernhard Langer continues his remarkable career at the Chubb Classic on the PGA Tour Champions. The 68-year-old is pursuing a record-tying sixth title at the Florida event. With 47 Champions Tour victories already to his credit—a record itself—Langer remains a formidable competitor on the seniors circuit. Fellow German Alex Cejka, 55, is also competing in Naples.
The week also features extensive participation from German, Austrian, and Swiss golfers across multiple tours. The Ladies European Tour opened its season with the PIF Saudi Ladies International in Riyadh, where German talents including Laura Funfstuck, the recent winner of the PIF London Championship, are competing for the $5 million prize fund.

The LIV Golf League witnessed a rare moment of brilliance on the greens this week as Pau Corrius recorded the third albatross in the league’s history during competition in Adelaide.
The remarkable double-eagle puts Corrius in exclusive company within the relatively young professional circuit. Only two other players have achieved the feat since LIV Golf’s inception: Richard Bland during the Mexico event in 2025, and Brendan Steele at the Greenbrier tournament in 2024.
A Rare Achievement on Golf’s Biggest Stage
Albatrosses remain among golf’s most elusive achievements, requiring a player to score three under par on a single hole. In professional competition, such moments are celebrated across the sport, regardless of tour affiliation. For a player to join this distinguished group at an international event underscores both the caliber of competition and the element of fortune required for such a shot.
The Adelaide event, held at The Grange Golf Club, continues to showcase exceptional play from the league’s competitors. Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, and Cameron Smith represent among the top contenders competing this week.
The Ripper GC Connection
The home team advantage looms large at the Australian venue. Ripper GC, featuring Cameron Smith, Marc Leishman, Lucas Herbert, and breakout star Elvis Smylie, brings momentum into the event after sweeping both individual and team honors at the Riyadh tournament last week. The 23-year-old Smylie announced his arrival on the global stage with a debut victory, signaling a changing of the guard in professional golf.
The tournament represents the first LIV Golf event where competitors earn Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) points, elevating the competitive significance for players worldwide. Among the international contingent competing this week is Germany’s Martin Kaymer, who captains the Cleeks GC team.
The Adelaide event continues through February 15, with Corrius’ albatross already etched into LIV Golf lore.
