LIV Golf Cancels Michigan Event, to Decide Team Title at Indy
LIV Golf said 57 players will now finish the season in Indiana as it retools for 2027 after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund withdrew.
On Monday, LIV Golf officially cancelled its season-ending Team Championship in Michigan, moving the 2026 season finale to this week in Indianapolis at The Club at Chatham Hills.
LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil stated the league scrapped the event to focus "full resources" on 2027 after the Public Investment Fund withdrew its financial backing earlier this year.
Starting Thursday at The Club at Chatham Hills, 57 players will contend for individual titles while the team competition will crown one of the 13 teams champion.
Despite securing a "lead investor," questions remain regarding funding structure and reports that some LIV Golf contractors have not been paid for services.
The league's future remains uncertain as potential player departures loom and some golfer representatives have reportedly reached out to the PGA Tour regarding future opportunities.
LIV Golf has decided to cancel the Michigan tournament and end the season early following the suspension of support from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund. The Indianapolis tournament will be the final event, and while an agreement has been reached with a new investor for the next season, specific plans have not been disclosed.
