LIV Golf has spent years trying (and failing) to move the needle when it comes to television ratings and making its events part of the cultural conversation. ⛳️
They’ve also added various tweaks it’s made in an attempt to improve the product (including a pivot from a 54-hole format to traditional four-day tournaments) that have fallen flat.
It has also started to bleed talent as the PGA Tour has opened the door for golfers, including Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed, to return, and as things currently stand, Bryson DeChambeau is really the only marketable name at its disposal. 🤷♂️
Now, it looks like its years-long battle to justify its existence may be coming to an end…along with the league as a whole.
On Tuesday night, Ryan French of Monday Q Info dropped a fairly cryptic tweet where he advised people to keep an eye out for “a bombshell announcement on LIV’s future” while implying the clock was running out. 😬
He elaborated on that message during a conversation with The Takesmen, saying:
🗣️ - “I have some very good sources, and I’ve heard that other people have sources, that LIV is shutting down,” adding the situation was dire to the point where it may not even go through with the event that’s slated to kick off at Club de Golf Chapultepec outside of Mexico City on Thursday.
Kevin Van Valkenburg of Fried Egg also seemed to imply he was aware of similar rumblings while resurfacing an article discussing the writing that has been on the wall.
The Telegraph also added fuel to the flames by reporting the league has called executives to New York City for an “emergency meeting.” 🚨
On Wednesday morning, Flushing It pushed back against the chatter while saying the Mexico City tournament will go on as planned (the league also dropped a promo for the event around the same time).
No official announcement has been issued as of this writing, but it appears one will be coming before too long. 👍
