LIV Golf should know its future by end of month, attorney says
LIV Golf is currently in bankruptcy court as it seeks to reorganize under a new structure, referred to as 'LIV Golf 2.0'. During a recent hearing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of New Jersey, an attorney for the league stated that a final decision on whether the league will continue operations or shut down is expected by the end of October 2026. The restructuring involves a transition from Saudi Public Investment Fund backing to a new ownership group led by BC Partners. The proceedings also highlighted a conflict with the DP World Tour regarding player eligibility for the 2027 season and the Ryder Cup.
