The headaches continue to build for LIV Golf, as the league has still yet to announce official details of how its tumultuous 2026 season will conclude.
LIV finally stopped selling tickets Thursday for LIV Golf Michigan, the team championship, which was set to pay out $40 million of prize money. The event still remains on the league’s official schedule, despite no indication of it taking place as planned Aug. 27-30 in suburban Detroit at The Cardinal at Saint John’s Resort. It is also still being promoted on the resort’s website. The Michigan tournament will be canceled, sources told Front Office Sports.
LIV members Tyrrell Hatton, Tom McKibbin, and Adrian Meronk have entered the field for the DP World Tour’s British Masters, which is scheduled for the exact same dates as LIV Michigan. LIV players were informed by the league this week that Michigan would not be played, according to The Telegraph, but LIV has not confirmed that publicly. Fox Sports, LIV’s U.S. media rights holder, previously removed the Michigan event from its broadcast schedule.
Next week’s LIV Golf Indianapolis event is still set to be played as scheduled at The Club at Chatham Hills Aug. 20-23. That will become LIV’s 2026 season finale. One holdup with formally announcing the status of the Michigan event is likely ongoing efforts to incorporate elements of the team championship into the Indianapolis tournament, which was set to be a standard LIV event with a $30 million purse.
