First on the agenda is the 25th Anniversary of the Santos Tour Down Under, running from 17-26 January 2025.
As Australia’s most prestigious cycling race, the event will cover an impressive 1,198 kilometres of South Australia’s diverse landscapes.
This year’s race pays tribute to its rich history while introducing exciting new challenges. A highlight for fans will be the return of the men’s city stage, absent for the past seven years. This final stage promises high-paced drama, bringing the race back to Adelaide’s streets. Meanwhile, the legendary Willunga Hill is set to deliver its signature test of endurance – with a twist.
Riders will descend before ascending it twice, adding even more difficulty. The women’s race, now in its third year at the highest level of international competition, promises to push the envelope even further with longer, tougher stages, as competitors battle for the first points of the season.
Barely catching a breath, Adelaide will then host LIV Golf Adelaide at The Grange Golf Club from 14-16 February 2025. Following its triumph as the World’s Best Golf Event, the tournament returns for another thrilling edition. In 2024, 94,000 fans attended, setting the stage for what is expected to be an even bigger spectacle. Last year, Brendan Steele’s individual win and the all-Australian Ripper GC team’s playoff victory, led by Cam Smith, left a lasting impression on spectators. Expect more of the same electrifying atmosphere in 2025, with the popular Watering Hole at the par-3 No. 12 set to return.
Whether it’s cyclists conquering South Australia’s hills or golfers battling it out on the green, Adelaide’s 2025 sporting lineup promises a feast of adrenaline and excitement for sports fans.
