## Key points

- LIV Golf plans an orderly wind-down and liquidation.
- A proposed $300 million deal for 2027 tournaments fell through.
- The league says it will consider offers for its assets.

## Summary

LIV Golf said it would wind down and liquidate after losing the financing needed to continue, putting the future of the breakaway tour in doubt. The decision marks a major turn for a circuit that disrupted professional golf by recruiting prominent players with lucrative contracts and creating a rival to the PGA Tour.

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund had committed support only through the completed 2026 season. A proposed $300 million financing deal with BC Partners to stage tournaments in 2027 fell apart after players declined to commit, while former world number one Jon Rahm and other leading golfers left. LIV will consider third-party offers during the wind-down; a separate proposed $1.5 billion PIF investment in the PGA Tour was rejected, and the two sides’ 2023 plan to unify their commercial operations stalled.
