LIV Golf might be preparing for its next chapter with new investors, but more contractors and vendors claim they're owed money by the league.
The credit division of private investment firm BC Partners is exploring a funding deal with LIV to help the league continue operating in 2027 and beyond. This week's LIV Golf Indianapolis event is set to pay out $30 million in prize money, but details about LIV's expected-to-be-canceled $40 million team championship in Michigan still remain scarce.
As the tumultuous 2026 season comes to a close, no full-time employees are known to have seen any missed paychecks since the Saudi PIF announced in April it would no longer fund LIV after this season.
But many contract workers—both past and present—say they're owed money for services rendered earlier this year, and remain in the dark about when or if they will receive those payments. Like many professional sports entities, LIV outsources services like video production, data collection, merchandising, tournament food and beverage operations, among others. Front Office Sports spoke with several such people and verified their current or former affiliation with LIV; they were granted anonymity for this story in order to preserve their identity as they continue working for LIV or continue their efforts to get paid.
The amounts owed to individuals by LIV range from several thousand dollars to nearly $100,000, according to the people who spoke with FOS, some of whom have worked with LIV since its first event in 2022. Other contractors and vendors that have so far stayed quiet could be owed even more, those people say.
