LIV Golf Files Bankruptcy Restructuring

LIV Golf received an initial committed investment from BC Partners for $300 million to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

BC Partners Funds LIV 2.0 Launch

BC Partners agreed to fund LIV 2.0 with a 10-tournament schedule and international events starting in 2027.

Revised Player Commitment Deadline

The deadline for player commitments moved from Oct 13 to Oct 25 with a new definition of "requisite players".

Player Equity Changes

Committed players retain 52.5 percent of equity in LIV Golf's new league structure.

Sergio Garcia's Contract Status

Sergio Garcia asked whether his contract was terminated due to bankruptcy or if he could terminate it himself.

Joaquin Niemann's Decision

Joaquin Niemann said he was still deciding whether to stay with LIV or play more in Europe and pursue PGA Tour.

Player Ownership Vision

Ted Goldthorpe stated players would share in what they help build through real ownership in the league.

“Our goal is to facilitate LIV Golf’s emergence from the restructuring process on sound financial footing and with renewed momentum heading into the 2027 season”

BC Partners' Tax Benefits

BC Partners acknowledged potential tax write-offs but disputed that tax benefits were the primary investment reason.

“Yeah, course, there’s a big NOL (Net Operating Losses) in the U.S. and the UK, but that’s not the driving force behind the investment”

A court hearing on Oct 14 will decide whether to approve the restructuring support agreement.
