LIV Golf Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, Plans Player-Ownership Restructuring
LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed professional golf league, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New Jersey, citing liabilities between $500 million and $1 billion. The league plans to restructure with support from BC Partners and a $49.6 million loan from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which will end funding after 2026. LIV aims to emerge from bankruptcy by early 2027 with a new player-first ownership model, where players like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, among the largest creditors, may gain majority ownership. The league intends to continue operations with a reduced schedule and revised format.
