Elvis Smylie claims landmark win on LIV Golf League

Elvis Smylie claimed a landmark victory in Saudi Arabia, securing his first win on the LIV Golf League with a composed and confident performance on one of the sport’s biggest stages. The 23-year-old Australian delivered under pressure throughout the week, emerging victorious against a world-class field to mark a major milestone in his rapidly rising career.

The success was made even sweeter as Smylie also helped Ripper GC secure the team title, completing a perfect week for the all-Australian side. It capped off a standout performance for Smylie, whose individual win sees him climb to a career-high position inside the world’s top 80 rankings.

The victory underlines Smylie’s seamless transition onto the LIV stage following his breakthrough DP World Tour win, and further cements his status as one of the most exciting young talents in global golf. With momentum firmly on his side, this triumph in Saudi Arabia feels less like a breakthrough moment and more like the beginning of a very exciting chapter for Elvis Smylie.
