LIV Golf Bets on Bankruptcy to Fund a Fragile 2.0 Comeback
TL;DR Summary
Defector reports LIV Golf, after being dumped by the Saudi PIF, plans Chapter 11 bankruptcy to clear debts and right-size for LIV 2.0, while laying off most staff and trimming events and bonuses. It is courting BC Partners as a new investor, but the deal hinges on retaining top players who would face much smaller payouts and fewer events. The venture also faces vendor lawsuits and potential sanctions from the PGA and European tours, creating an uncertain path forward.
