Adrian Meronk details the ‘definitely different’ experience of playing under lights at LIV Golf Riyadh

Adrian Meronk has shared details from his experience playing under lights at the 2025 LIV Golf Riyadh season-opening event. This year, the LIV Golf events are taking place at night for the first time.

During the event's press conference after the second round on Friday, February 7, Meronk said:

"It was definitely different, but I was kind of prepared well last week. I played a couple of rounds of night golf in Dubai, and then obviously this week we had three days to prepare. I think I did a good job to get used to the lights, the shadows, and reading greens. I really enjoy it. It's a lot of fun."

Meronk was asked if practicing under the lights had helped him with a good game this week.

"Definitely, because it makes a big difference, especially around the greens and on the greens," Adrian Meronk said. "It's hard to see the breaks, sometimes the shadow is on your way. Sometimes you move and the shadow moves with you so you cannot see the ball. Yeah, you can get used to it, and I'm happy how I prepared for this tournament."

Adrian Meronk started the campaign with an impressive round of 10-under on the first day and maintained the lead after the second round. He played the round of 6-under on Friday and is in contention to win the tournament heading into the finale on Saturday, February 8.
