LIV Golf collapse imminent as BC Partners walks away from tentative investment
Saudi-backed league may pivot to liquidation after failing to secure enough player support
People involved in the case expect LIV Golf to pivot to liquidation after investment firm BC Partners walked away from a tentative agreement to fund a 'LIV 2.0' league, a source familiar with the matter confirmed Wednesday. The league filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September after Saudi investors confirmed plans to withdraw funding after the 2026 season, and BC Partners' investment was predicated on an unspecified number of players signing on; at least 30 indicated interest, the source said. Economic terms remained a sticking point with some representatives, and LIV was unable to secure enough support in time to meet the deadlines set in the bankruptcy case.
