## Key points

- LIV Golf plans to liquidate after a rescue deal collapsed.
- Saudi funding is set to end after the 2026 season.
- A $300 million financing plan for 2027 was dropped.

## Summary

LIV Golf says it will liquidate after a planned financing rescue fell through, putting an end to the breakaway circuit that reshaped professional golf from 2022. The decision follows the loss of Saudi funding and the departure of prominent players, leaving the league without a clear route to continue.

The league had secured $300 million in potential financing from BC Partners to stage tournaments in 2027, but dropped the plan after several notable players declined to commit. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which had put more than $5 billion into LIV, said in April it would stop funding the circuit after the 2026 season. LIV said it would still consider alternatives during an orderly wind-down.
