LIV Golf has confirmed its intention to wind down operations after five years, according to a report by BBC Sports News correspondent Laura Scott. The Saudi-backed golf league, which launched its inaugural season in 2022 following its founding in 2021, will cease operations after completing its five-year cycle.
Background
The announcement marks the end of a disruptive period in professional golf, during which LIV Golf attracted top players with lucrative contracts and a team-based format. The league's 2022 debut season introduced 54-hole tournaments without cuts, shotgun starts, and significant prize funds that challenged the established PGA Tour and DP World Tour structures.
