Indianapolis golf course expecting $21 million economic impact from 2025 LIV Golf event

INDIANAPOLIS — LIV Golf is coming to Westfield next year.

The Club at Chatham Hills will host LIV Golf Indianapolis from Aug. 15-17 in 2025. The tournament will feature many of the best players in the sport competing across three days of individual and team competition.

Players will vie for the 2025 LIV Golf League Individual Champion title, final spots in the 2025 individual standings and seeds for the team championship during the tournament in Westfield, according to a news release from the city.

“The eyes of the world will be on Central Indiana, and Westfield will be front and center,” said Westfield Mayor Scott Willis at a press conference Wednesday. “This is an incredible opportunity to showcase our community's charm, our hospitality and the incredible quality of life that makes Westfield such a special, special place to live.”

The tournament is expected to have a $21-$29 million economic impact on Westfield.

“This kind of impact will ripple throughout our local economy, from the hotels, restaurants and retailers that will see an increase in demand to the jobs that will be created in preparation for the event itself,” Willis said.

The tournament will also feature fan engagement activities, interactive experiences, live music and opportunities for local businesses to participate and benefit from the event's economic impact.

“The selection of the Club at Chatham Hills to host the prestigious LIV Golf Individual Championship, just weeks before the Ryder Cup is played, is an exciting opportunity to showcase this premier golf course and allow spectators to see golf’s elite players right here in Indiana,” said Steve Henke of Henke Development, which developed The Club at Chatham Hills.

The course will be lengthened, bunkers will be renovated and other improvements will be made on the course in preparation for the LIV tournament.

Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm, Cameron Smith, Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, Joaquin Niemann and Tyrrell Hatton are expected to be among the players competing in the tournament in Westfield.

“We are thrilled to bring professional golf back to central Indiana and to host the LIV Golf Individual Championship, which is a tremendous honor and opportunity to showcase Hamilton County and Indiana to a worldwide audience,” said Betsy Henke Garfield of Henke Development in a news release.

Deposits are being accepted to secure hospitality tickets before they go on sale. Fans can also sign up to LIV X for free to receive exclusive updates and access to tickets, including pre-sale information on hospitality and grounds passes.

LIV Golf announced an update to its 2025 schedule Wednesday, with 10 of the 14 events now confirmed.
