LIV Golf Winds Down After Investors Pull $300M Lifeline

LIV Golf has announced its plans to wind down operations after investors withdrew a $300 million lifeline, effectively ending the Saudi-backed project that began in 2022. The league had hoped to restructure as "LIV 2.0" with fresh capital, but key players refused to return, and the necessary funding fell through.
