Hahn, Ripper GC announce partnership

Hahn is swinging big in 2026, announcing a brand new partnership with Ripper GC, becoming an official sponsor of one of golf’s most electric teams. From the first tee to the 19th hole, it’s a natural fit: great mates, great banter and a great beer backing an all-Aussie team ready to rip in.

The Ripper GC team is led by Captain Cameron Smith and joined by fellow Australians Marc Leishman , Lucas Herbert and the newest member of the team, Elvis Smylie. The Ripper GC team has quickly built a reputation for big energy, bold play and an unmistakably Australian spirit.

Hahn’s partnership with Ripper GC will come to life across Adelaide, with Hahn ensuring that Aussie golf fans get behind the all-Aussie team. As fans flood into the city for what many regard as the biggest event on the LIV Tour, Ripper GC and Hahn will be unmissable.

For Hahn, the partnership is a natural fit. Known for its full-flavoured taste with a more mindful profile, Hahn has long championed balance, delivering great beer experiences without compromising on quality or enjoyment.

“The Hahn and Ripper GC partnership just makes sense,” said Alex Honson, Brand Partnership Leader at Lion. “They’re a team that competes hard out on the course, but also know the simple enjoyment of a post-round beer with mates. They play hard, live loud and back each other, and that balance of performance and enjoyment is exactly what Hahn stands for. We’re hopeful that the Aussie public get behind the Aussie team competing on the world stage, whether they’re taking in the action from Ripper House, the local sports bar or their own house, we want fans to cheer on the Ripper GC team, with a Hahn in hand of course!”

There’ll be a number of designated Ripper GC clubhouse venues across Adelaide where fans will be able to enjoy a Hahn for their chance to win 1 of 500 Ripper Supporter packs including a Hahn x Ripper GC cap that has a glorious blonde mullet flowing from the back.

“The mullet caps perfectly encapsulate this team and this partnership, they allow fans to get behind their team and have a bit of fun in the process” said Honson.

As the build up continues in the coming weeks, participating venues will also give fans the opportunity to get up close to the action, cheering on the Ripper team from Ripper Point as the boys push for victory on the final Sunday of the event. 

Ripper GC says the partnership reflects a shared mindset on and off the course.

“This team is built on trust, chemistry and doing things our own way,” said Ripper GC General Manager Nick Adams, “Hahn gets that. It’s about big moments, shared experiences and enjoying a beer that goes the distance.”

Smith said the partnership felt authentic from the outset.

“We’re Aussies at heart," Smith said. "We compete hard on the weekend but we’re also good mates off the course; we’re always up for a beer and some light hearted banter once the job’s done. Hahn fits perfectly into that rhythm. It’s a great beer to enjoy with your mates after a day out on the course, and we’re stoked to have them backing us.”
