LIV Golf Shuts Down After Five Years
LIV Golf is calling it quits and shutting down operations after failing to secure enough support. The rival circuit told a bankruptcy court it will wind down its operations. The collapse ends a five-year run defined by billions of dollars in Saudi backing that deeply fractured professional golf. The sudden closure leaves major questions unanswered regarding the future standing of the PGA Tour and what comes next for the players who previously left the established tour to join the Saudi-backed league.

That financial muscle sparked a bitter civil war with the PGA Tour that divided the sport before this bankruptcy filing signaled the end of the league. The closure marks a major turning point for professional golf as the industry attempts to reckon with the fallout from the failed challenger circuit.
