If you were one of the dozens of people to purchase LIV Golf\u2019s premium \u201cAny Shot, Any Time\u201d feature for $59.99 this season, fear not. The beleaguered golf league is working on a refund.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because, according to a report by Josh Carpenter in Sports Business Journal<\/a>, LIV Golf has done away with the premium livestream feature beginning with its event in Korea this week, potentially because it cannot afford to keep it running. Per Carpenter, \u201cOne source indicated that, with Saudi Arabia\u2019s PIF tightening the belt on LIV spending, there had been payment issues with some broadcast vendors.\u201d<\/p>\n

LIV Golf\u2019s future is very much in doubt following this season, when the PIF will pull its investment in the tour after losing billions of dollars attempting to upend the world of men\u2019s professional golf. The league is actively courting investors, seeking more than $250 million<\/a>, to keep the tour operational next year.<\/p>\n

A LIV spokesperson told Carpenter the move to eliminate \u201cAny Shot, Any Time\u201d was a \u201cstrategic decision\u201d as the league reevaluates its production model amid the financial turmoil.<\/p>\n

The development is the latest in what has been a string of discouraging headlines for LIV Golf. The tour, once defined by its opulence, is now finding ways to cut corners financially. For the first time, LIV Golf is being forced to operate as a legitimate business rather than a vehicle for Saudi royalty to rub shoulders with the rich and powerful.<\/p>\n

First, it\u2019s the ability to stream any shot from any golfer at any time. But what\u2019s next? In order to survive, LIV Golf will need to find massive cost savings in addition to the outside investment it seeks. The league is already on the hook for massive guaranteed contracts to players, and shrinking its ginormous tournament purses wouldn\u2019t do wonders for talent retention. That doesn\u2019t leave too many areas to cut costs. Production, however, seems to be one area where the league can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you were one of the dozens of people to purchase LIV Golf\u2019s premium \u201cAny Shot, Any Time\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":670774,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,10658,99],"class_list":["post-670773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-liv-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=670773"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670773\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/670774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=670773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=670773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=670773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
