- LIV Golf is expected to cancel its Team Championship in Michigan, marking the second event cancellation this season.
- The league’s future is uncertain after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund pulled funding and the Asian Tour ended its alliance.
- Only two events remain on the 2026 schedule, with reports suggesting a reduced 10-event schedule if the league continues.
- Several players are reportedly exploring other options as their contracts near expiration, casting further doubt on the league’s viability.
Questions have surrounded whether the LIV Golf Team Championship would ever happen since CEO Scott O’Neil dodged a question on whether the remaining four events of the year would happen. Last week, those rumors grew even louder, if not confirmed, when Cleeks GC captain Martin Kaymer said there was only a 5 percent chance the league would end up at The Cardinal at Saint John’s in Plymouth, Michigan.
On Wednesday, LIV Golf is expected to officially announce it is canceling the team championship in Michigan, the second LIV event to be canceled this season. Flushing It Golf was first to report when LIV was expected to announce the cancellation, and LIV officials have not responded to Golfweek’s request for comment as of publishing.
Earlier this year, LIV officials postponed the tournament in New Orleans, which was set for last month, though no make-up date is expected. The league went seven weeks without a tournament before hosting LIV Golf UK last week, which Lucas Herbert won in record fashion.
Only two events remain on the schedule: LIV Golf New York at Trump Bedminster (Aug. 6-9) and LIV Golf Indianapolis at the Club at Chatham Hills (Aug. 20-23).
After that, LIV’s future is up in the air, including whether the league will even exist.

Last week, LIV Golf was dealt another blow in a year of them when the Asian Tour announced it was partnering with the PGA Tour and DP World Tour as part of a strategic alliance, ending its alliance with LIV. In April, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund pulled funding for the league, and O’Neil and Co. have been working to try to find new revenue streams for the league to continue.
If it does, it likely won’t look anything like it does now. O’Neil reportedly told players the schedule will be 10 events instead of 14. Golfweek’s Eamon Lynch reported that tournaments in Hong Kong and Singapore will likely depart LIV’s existing schedule.
Last week, the league’s best player, Jon Rahm, expressed he was optimistic about the league’s future but wouldn’t comment on why. With the pending cancellation of LIV Golf Michigan, Bryson DeChambeau has two more LIV events before his contract is up. Other reports say numerous players have been searching for what’s next instead of planning to return in 2027.
And now, LIV’s season finale is on the verge of being canned, further casting doubt on whether the league is on its last breath.
