LIV Golf Cancels Michigan Tournament, Ending Season a Week Early

LIV Golf, facing financial difficulties, is ending its season a week earlier than scheduled.

AP, AFP, and other news agencies reported today (the 18th) that LIV Golf is canceling the team championship originally scheduled to be held in Michigan, USA, on the 27th (Korea Standard Time).

This tournament was the final event of the season to determine the team champion.

Instead of canceling the team championship entirely, LIV Golf has decided to determine both the individual and team champions at the Indianapolis tournament, which kicks off on the 20th local time.

In the individual standings, Jon Rahm (Spain) has already secured his third consecutive victory, leaving the Indianapolis tournament to decide the 2nd and 3rd places in the individual standings as well as the final team champion.

Launched in 2022 with backing from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), LIV Golf faced a crisis last March when the PIF decided to suspend its funding.

LIV Golf announced earlier this month that it has reached an agreement with another investor to maintain a new format for the tour next year.

However, specific plans, including the identity of the investor, have not yet been released.
