LIV on Verge of Canceling Team Championship Amid Funding Concerns, Reports Say
The league is seeking up to $300 million from investors as costs top $6 billion and a vendor lawsuit underscores its funding pressure.
- Reports indicate LIV is on the brink of canceling its "team championship" event originally scheduled for Michigan in late August, marking the latest cost-cutting measure for the league.

- League officials will delay a final decision on the cancellation until after next week's event at Trump Bedminster, which would become the season's penultimate tournament if Michigan is scrapped.
- The league is pivoting toward a "new" "vision of the league" labeled "LIV 2.0," while golfer Jon Rahm said last week in the UK, "I'm always optimistic, I play golf for a living.
