- Liquidation is expected to begin on 9 November.
- Former players’ routes back to other tours remain uncertain.

## Summary

LIV Golf plans to wind down its operations and liquidate its assets after a proposed rescue deal collapsed, ending the Saudi-backed circuit’s attempt to continue beyond its current season. The decision matters because players who joined LIV now face uncertainty over their future tours, while the PGA Tour and DP World Tour retain control over any return pathways.

The Saudi Public Investment Fund, LIV’s sole backer, said in April it would stop funding the circuit after 2026; its investment was reported to total about $6 billion since 2021. LIV filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September and had hoped for a $300 million commitment from BC Partners, but the firm withdrew after some high-profile players did not commit to a proposed second edition. Liquidation is expected to begin on 9 November. LIV began in 2021 and held its first tournament in 2022, attracting players with large signing bonuses and guaranteed prize money.
