LIV Golf Finally Cancels Its $40M Michigan Finale
This week’s tournament in Indianapolis will be LIV's season finale.
LIV Golf has announced the cancellation of its $40 million team championship in Michigan at the end of the season, marking the end of a tumultuous period for the league due to the Saudi Public Investment Fund’s funding coming to an end. The Indianapolis event at The Club at Chatham Hills, starting next Thursday, will honor the 2026 individual champion, top three finishers, and the 2026 team champion, with a $30 million purse.
The cancellation of the Michigan tournament was anticipated after Martin Kaymer, captain of Cleeks GC LIV, stated it was "highly unlikely" to proceed. LIV Golf appreciates the partnership with the Pulte Family Foundation but assures Michigan ticket holders of refunds. In contrast to past team championships featuring match play, Indianapolis will host a stroke play event where all four players on each team will count their scores daily.
The league also canceled two concerts in Indianapolis due to the changes. This marks the second LIV event this season to be canceled, following the cancellation of LIV Golf Louisiana in April. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil stated that concluding the season now allows the league to focus on future endeavors while maintaining operational rigor.
