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 scheduled $40 million team championship in Michigan next week. This marks the conclusion of a tumultuous few weeks for the league as the Saudi Public Investment Fund’s funding comes to an end after this season. The league revealed that the Indianapolis event beginning Thursday, which will feature a standard $30 million purse, is now set to celebrate an Indianapolis champion, the 2026 season individual champion, top three finishers, and the 2026 team champion.
It remains unclear if any of the $40 million previously allocated for the team championship will still be paid out. The league had been scheduled to hold the championship from Aug. 27–30 at The Cardinal at Saint John’s Resort, owned by the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation, but its cancellation became inevitable after weeks of confusion and uncertainty over the event.
Despite LIV Golf's gratitude to the Pulte Family Foundation for their partnership, ticket holders will receive refunds. In addition to the canceled championship, two concerts scheduled for Indianapolis this weekend have also been canceled due to changes in the entertainment program. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil stated that concluding the season early allows the league to focus on future endeavors and maintain the operational rigor during the transition.
