Tickets for the season-ending event have been removed from sale while the Public Investment Fund concludes its funding, leaving the league’s immediate future in doubt despite a secured deal for 2027.
Background
LIV Golf’s season-ending Team Championship in Michigan is set to be cancelled after tickets were removed from sale, following the withdrawal of financial backing from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF). The PIF announced in April it would end its multibillion-dollar support at the conclusion of the 2026 season. While the league has secured an unnamed lead investor for 2027, it has failed to secure immediate funding for the remainder of the current campaign. The Indianapolis event next week is increasingly likely to be the final tournament of the 2026 season. No official public announcement has been made, though players have been warned of the cancellation.
