The 2026 LIV Golf season will conclude a week ahead of schedule after the rebel series cancelled its planned finale in Michigan.
As had long been expected, the season-ending Team Championship will no longer go ahead in Detroit with the campaign instead finishing in a strokeplay event in Indianapolis this weekend.
The premature conclusion adds to further scrutiny over LIV’s future after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) withdrew its financial backing earlier this year.
LIV has claimed to have secured a new investor to keep the series operating in 2027, although the transaction is yet to be completed and exact details have not been confirmed.
PIF is believed to have invested more than $5bn (£3.71bn) since the breakaway league launched in 2022 as a rival to the PGA Tour.
“By concluding the season now, we can put our full resources behind what comes next and maintain the operational rigour this transition demands,” LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil said.
“We are reimagining LIV Golf as a fundamentally new league owned by the players and anchored in a sustainable business model, with an evolved fan experience built for the markets where the game is growing fastest across the globe and the support of world-class partners.”
Jon Rahm has already clinched a third consecutive individual success on the season-long standings. The 4Aces, captained by Dustin Johnson, are leading the race to win the team title.
