LIV高尔夫巡回赛于2026年9月9日在美国申请破产保护1。这一决定源于其主要资金方沙特阿拉伯公共投资基金（PIF）在4月份的撤资决定，PIF称此举是因为LIV高尔夫"与PIF投资战略的当前阶段不一致"1。自2021年成立以来，LIV高尔夫已累计投资逾50亿美元1。
根据破产申请文件，LIV高尔夫估计负债5亿至10亿美元，涉及至少1000个债权人1。其中包括对顶级球员的巨额欠款：欠布赖森·德尚博570万美元、乔·拉姆750万美元以及达斯汀·约翰逊570万美元1。此前LIV高尔夫已经实施大幅裁员1。
英国投资公司BC Partners将接手对LIV的支持1。LIV高尔夫首席执行官斯科特·奥尼尔表示将推行"以球员为中心的所有权模式"1。不过，该赛事的未来前景及2027年赛程仍不明确1。
LIV Golf has filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States, marking a dramatic reversal for the golf circuit that launched in 2021 with over $5 billion in investment.1 The filing came after the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF), the tour's primary financial backer, withdrew its support in April 2026, stating that LIV Golf was "inconsistent with the current phase of PIF's investment strategy."1
The tour now faces substantial financial obligations, with debts estimated between $500 million and $1 billion spread across more than 1,000 creditors.1 Among the largest liabilities are payments owed to top-tier players: $5.7 million to Bryson DeChambeau, $7.5 million to Jon Rahm, and $5.7 million to Dustin Johnson.1 The company had already undertaken significant workforce reductions earlier in the year as financial pressures mounted.
British investment firm BC Partners will assume operational control of LIV Golf going forward.1 CEO Scott O'Neill announced plans to implement a "player-centric ownership model," though the tour's competitive structure and 2027 schedule remain uncertain.1 The Saudi pullback extends beyond golf; the kingdom simultaneously reduced funding commitments across snooker, women's tennis, rugby, and football, while also forgoing its hosting bid for the 2029 Asian Winter Games and scaling back the Neom and Trojena megaproject initiatives.1
