LIV Golf scraps team championship in Plymouth: League's TV host
LIV Golf won't stage its team championship at The Cardinal amid the league's ongoing funding crisis, TNT's Craig Doyle said on Sunday's broadcast.
LIV Golf has announced it will not host its season-ending team championship tournament at The Cardinal in Plymouth Township later this month. TV host Craig Doyle confirmed on TNT Sports' broadcast that the event, scheduled for Aug. 20-23 in Indianapolis, will be the final tournament of LIV Golf's 2026 season. The Indianapolis event, set to feature a $40 million prize pool, was previously slated for the same weekend as the PGA Tour Champions at Warwick Hills Golf & Country Club in Grand Blanc, causing local officials to question the decision.
The cancellation of the Michigan tournament follows LIV Golf's financial struggles, which have reportedly exceeded $300 million in losses. The team championship was to be held at The Cardinal for a third consecutive year, following successful events in 2023 and 2024. With financial support from the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund now uncertain, LIV Golf faces significant challenges in securing new investments to sustain the tour.
