LIV Golf says it will keep going into 2027, even if it pulls out of Michigan to end 2026.
Per an announcement from LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil on Wednesday, Aug. 5, LIV has found a lead investor that will keep the tour operational into 2027, though O'Neil didn't reveal who the investor was or how much money they planned to invest.
"We anticipate finalizing terms in the coming weeks, with a goal of entering a transaction in September," a LIV statement read.
The announcement follows months of speculation of the tour's imminent shutdown after the Saudi Public Investment Fund, the tour's main financial backer, pulled its funding.
Despite O'Neil's announcement of the league's continuation in 2027, he did not commit to the 2026 season finishing with the team championship at The Cardinal at Saint John's in Plymouth, currently scheduled for Aug. 27-30. Many experts speculate the Michigan tournament will not proceed as planned, though it still remains on the LIV schedule as of Wednesday.
