LIV Golf is planning to announce on Wednesday that it won\u2019t hold its season-ending event in Michigan, the league\u2019s Team Championship, according to sources who were briefed on the league\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n
The move comes just a week after LIV player Martin Kaymer told multiple outlets it was \u201chighly unlikely<\/a>\u201d the tournament would take place amid the league\u2019s search for new investment. The Detroit News also reported last week that there had been no infrastructure buildout<\/a> at The Cardinal at Saint John\u2019s Resort for the tournament, which was set for Aug. 27-30. It wasn\u2019t clear if LIV would try and make one of its remaining two tournaments into a team championship-style event.<\/p>\n LIV has been searching for investors since Saudi Arabia\u2019s PIF, which still holds controlling interest, announced it would stop funding the league at the end of this season. The Scottish publication Bunkered reported last week<\/a> that interest in investing in LIV has been \u201chigh,\u201d and that the league had narrowed its search to two potential investors, though no deal has been secured yet. CEO Scott O\u2019Neil said in June the league was seeking as much as $350M.<\/p>\n The news to not contest the Michigan event comes after LIV already postponed another 2026 tournament that was scheduled for June in New Orleans. That event has not yet been rescheduled.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, Mobii, a tech vendor with LIV, sued the league for breach of contract<\/a> and was seeking $1M in damages. Mobii was behind LIV\u2019s \u201cAny Shot, Any Time\u201d broadcast innovation that was cut earlier this year<\/a>. Three weeks ago, LIV informed its employees<\/a> of potential layoffs.<\/p>\n LIV did have a strong event in the U.K. last week with 50,000 fans on the ground throughout the week.<\/p>\n With the cancellation of the Michigan tournament, LIV has two events remaining on its 2026 schedule. It plays next week at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, and then is slated to compete at The Club at Chatham Hills near Indianapolis on Aug. 20-23.<\/p>\n
