LIV Golf players used to 'turbulence' as league files for bankruptcy
Sports2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported19m ago
LIV Golf has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as part of a restructuring plan supported by a significant loan from the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia. The move follows the league's initial launch, which utilized substantial financial backing to recruit prominent players from the PGA Tour.
The filing marks a shift for the organization, which has faced ongoing scrutiny regarding its business model. While the league previously disrupted the professional golf landscape with high-profile signings, the current restructuring aims to address its financial standing through continued Saudi investment.
