LIV Golf and Louisiana Officials Postpone New Orleans June Tournament Amid Funding Review

LIV Golf and Louisiana officials have agreed to postpone the inaugural June tournament in New Orleans, originally scheduled for June 25-28 at Bayou Oaks in City Park. The delay aims to secure new funding and restructure the event, with potential rescheduling to September or October to avoid summer heat and World Cup conflicts. Louisiana had committed $5 million plus $2.2 million for course upgrades, with $1 million already paid to LIV Golf, which will be refunded. LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil acknowledged ongoing financial challenges amid Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund reconsidering support.
