• The league will now conclude its season at the LIV Golf Indianapolis event from August 20-23, 2026, at the Club at Chatham Hills in Westfield, Indiana. This decision follows the withdrawal of financial backing by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which had previously supported the league. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil stated that the cancellation allows the league to focus on restructuring and securing future funding, reportedly through a deal with BC Partners. The league aims to transition into a player-owned model with a sustainable business framework.
