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.
The 2026 LIV Golf season will conclude this week following the cancellation of the final event, LIV Golf Indianapolis. The league has agreed to a deal with a lead investor that will allow for a new version of the league in 2027, after the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia ceased funding. LIV Golf announced the decision on Monday to skip the team championship in Michigan and crown the champion this week instead.
The 12 events this year, previously postponed New Orleans, are the smallest schedule for LIV since its inception. Jon Rahm has already secured the individual championship title for the third consecutive year. The cancellation comes one week earlier than planned and will allow the league to focus on the future. LIV CEO Scott O Neil stated that they aim to rebrand LIV Golf as a league owned by players and supported by sustainable business models.
The $20 million purse for the final event will be the last big payoff for the league and its 57 players. Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, and other top players' involvement in the 2027 season remains unclear.
