LIV Golf Andalucia: Play Suspended Amidst Extreme Conditions at Valderrama
San Roque, Spain – The opening round of LIV Golf Andalucia was dramatically halted on friday as ferocious winds, gusting up to 56 kilometers per hour (33 mph), rendered the Valderrama course virtually unplayable. The challenging conditions, coupled with exceptionally fast greens, led tournament officials to suspend play at 5:07 p.m. local time, as golf balls were being significantly affected and failing to remain stationary on the putting surfaces. This mirrors similar disruptions seen in professional golf, such as the 2022 Open Championship at St Andrews where high winds impacted play.
