LIV Golf faces possible shutdown as final events in UK and US canceled
The 2026 LIV Golf United Kingdom tournament concluded with a reshuffled leaderboard, highlighted by young Irish golfer Liam O’Sullivan climbing into the top three and veteran Sarah Kim securing a top‑five finish. Other notable performances included Ethan Cruz breaking into the top ten and Evan Mitchell’s late‑day surge.
At the same time, the league’s future is in doubt after contractors for the season‑ending team championship in Michigan reported that flights and accommodation were canceled. The Public Investment Fund has reportedly cut funding, prompting CEO Scott O’Neil to warn of potential layoffs, while a lawsuit from a Canadian technology provider seeks over $1 million for unpaid services. Players such as Martin Kaymer and Jon Rahm are awaiting clarity on whether the circuit will continue beyond 2026.
