LIV Golf has officially ended, filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after failing to secure $300M in financing. The Saudi-backed league, which spent $6B over five years, will liquidate unless a surprise investor emerges. Top players like Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, and Cameron Smith now face an uncertain future, including potential PGA Tour suspensions until 2027.
Some may pivot to the DP World Tour, but returning to the PGA Tour remains complicated, especially for those who sued the tour or played key roles in LIV’s launch. Phil Mickelson’s future in pro golf also remains in question.
