One of the innovative features that has been part of the LIV Golf broadcast for the past two years has been dropped at this week\u2019s event in South Korea, part of what a spokesman told Sports Business Journal<\/a> was a \u201cstrategic decision\u201d as the league assesses its future.<\/p>\n

Called \u201cAny Shot, Any Time,\u201d the feature on the live stream of the broadcast allowed subscribers to have access to group and team streams. The cost for the season was $59.99 and LIV said it would be working on a refund for customers.<\/p>\n

Not even the Masters shows every shot of every player live on its app. It offers the ability to go back and watch every shot after a period of time has passed. The PGA Tour does show every shot at its annual Players Championship.<\/p>\n

A company called Mobii was providing the \u201cNo Shot\u201d technology to LIV Golf and a source told Sports Illustrated that the company has not been paid for months. It is unclear if Mobii then decided to discontinue its business relationship with LIV.<\/p>\n

But the service will not be available for the rest of the season, which includes five more events after this week\u2019s LIV Golf South Korea tournament, which began on Thursday. The league goes to Spain next month but had its June tournament in New Orleans scrapped in the wake of its financial issues.<\/p>\n

The LIV Golf League, now in its fifth season, is enduring a tumultuous time after the announcement last month that its main benefactor, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia, would be pulling its funding following this season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The PIF, Saudia Arabia\u2019s sovereign wealth fund, has spent some $5 billion on the endeavor and while it pledged funding for the rest of this year, it is unclear if it is doing so to the levels it did previously.<\/p>\n

LIV Golf CEO Scott O\u2019Neil has vowed to try and forge on by analyzing all aspects of the business\u2014which could mean reductions in tournaments and prize funds\u2014while seeking investment from companies interested in the league or in its franchises.<\/p>\n

Bryson DeChambeau was tied for the first round lead in South Korea along with Charles Howell III and Scott Vincent after shooting 66 at Asiad Country Club.<\/p>\n
