LIV Golf 'Firmly Focused' on Funding Solution Amid Bankruptcy ...

The league is seeking $250 million to $350 million from investors as it weighs recapitalization and possible U.S. bankruptcy preparations, CNBC reported.

  • On Thursday, LIV Golf began a roadshow to secure $250 million to $350 million in fresh capital, seeking investors to sustain operations after the Saudi Public Investment Fund ends financial backing following the 2026 season.
  • The Saudi Public Investment Fund has invested nearly $5 billion since 2022 but announced it will cease backing LIV after this season, forcing the league to shift toward independent sustainability and new investor partnerships.
  • Advising the league, boutique investment bank Ducera Partners is pitching a model emphasizing team-based fandom and profitability; reports indicate LIV is evaluating bankruptcy as a restructuring tool to nullify contractual obligations.
  • LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil is leading the capital search while maintaining the league sees "great momentum on the course," despite postponing its New Orleans tournament to prioritize securing new investors.
  • Legion XIII captain Jon Rahm has publicly backed the restructuring efforts, though the league's future depends on securing new capital to remain a going concern amid broader industry uncertainty.
