LIV Golf files Chapter 11 after burning $5.5B of Saudi money

LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed golf circuit launched in 2022 with nearly $6 billion in funding, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after the Public Investment Fund withdrew support, leaving the league with approximately $15 million in remaining capital.

ReadingSovereign-wealth capital can walk into any market and still walk out broke if the operator is wrong. LIV proved the premise—you cannot buy sport, only the bodies. The bodies leave.
WatchThe restructuring will offer creditors cents on the dollar and likely push players back toward the PGA–DP World unified circuit within months.
