LIV Golf appears officially dead as PE firm drops investment after star players defect

LIV Golf, even in its diminished post-Saudi opulence form, is in dire straits as of Wednesday evening. A new report by Sujeet Indap in the Financial Times indicates that BC Partners, the private equity firm that was prepared to provide LIV with a league-saving capital investment after Saudi Arabia’s private investment fund (PIF) ceased financing the rogue tour after the 2026 season, is dropping its investment in LIV after the league failed to secure enough commitments from players for next season.
