LIV Golf Faces Liquidation After Relaunch Plans Collapse Amid Player Withdrawals
LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed breakaway golf league, is facing liquidation after its planned relaunch, LIV 2.0, collapsed due to lack of player support and withdrawal of lead investor BC Partners. The league filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September following the Public Investment Fund's exit. The European Tour's CEO criticized LIV's initial aim to disrupt established tours. Many top players are returning to traditional circuits amid ongoing tensions over membership and eligibility policies.
