LIV Golf to wind down after relaunch collapses
LIV Golf says it is moving toward a wind-down after BC Partners withdrew financing for a proposed 2027 relaunch. A lawyer told a bankruptcy court that LIV 2.0 is not currently proceeding, although alternatives remain possible. The league, launched in 2021 with Saudi backing, filed for bankruptcy protection after losing that support and seeing several prominent players depart.

Why this made the edition
