LIV Golf will not make any official announcement this week about the status of next month’s team championship despite increasing uncertainty around the $40 million season finale, sources familiar with the league’s thinking told Front Office Sports.
Currently, LIV Golf Michigan remains scheduled for Aug. 27–30 in suburban Detroit at The Cardinal at Saint John’s Resort. But sources have told FOS and multiple other outlets that the event will be canceled. There has been no tournament infrastructure or fan hospitality built out yet at The Cardinal, which also hosted last year’s LIV team championship.
LIV has been searching for new investors since the Saudi PIF announced in April that it would pull its funding following the 2026 season. Amid the transition, LIV is considering all options that best position the business for what officials are calling “LIV 2.0,” which could mean taking a “disciplined approach to support the league’s long-term sustainability and maintain operations,” according to the sources.
As for the team championship, it’s unclear whether LIV has the funds to back the event and is considering saving some or all of that money for 2027, or if the tour simply doesn’t have the funding to host its season finale.
