LIV Golf Files for Bankruptcy, Plans Restructuring with Player Ownership
LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed golf league, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New Jersey, citing liabilities between $500 million and $1 billion. The league plans to restructure, potentially giving players majority ownership, and aims to emerge from bankruptcy by early 2027. The Saudi Public Investment Fund, which invested over $5 billion, ended funding after 2026. Key players like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau are among the largest creditors, owed millions. LIV intends to continue operations with a smaller, restructured format.
