LIV Golf ending season early after cancelling final event
LIV Golf is ending its season one week earlier than planned, announcing on Monday it will not hold the team championship in Michigan next week and instead crown the team champion this week.
LIV Golf has announced it will conclude its 2026 season one week early, canceling the final event in Michigan. The league, which began with Saudi Arabian funding, will instead crown its team champion this week at LIV Golf Indianapolis. LIV CEO Scott O Neil stated that this move allows the organization to focus on the future and transition to a new business model.
The cancellation of the Michigan tournament is believed to be due to the lack of preparation, including lack of grandstands and amenities. LIV players, including 2026 individual champion Jon Rahm, will have their refunds processed for the canceled event. The league's future remains uncertain, with details about the 2027 format, player rosters, and potential equity ownership for the players still to be determined.
