LIV Golf is set to cease operations after a last-ditch financing deal collapsed, according to reports on Thursday.

The Saudi-backed league, which has featured players such as Anthony Kim, Jon Rahm, and Tyrrell Hatton, faced mounting financial pressure. A file photo from the LIV Golf Adelaide tournament at Grange Golf Club shows the trio on the podium during the trophy ceremony.

The South Australian premier previously indicated that LIV Golf's demise was edging closer, highlighting the league's uncertain future.

The news emerged on November 5, 2026, marking a significant moment in professional golf's recent landscape.
