If it’s true — and there’s little reason to believe it isn’t, based on the increasing noise and recent credible reports — LIV Golf is dead.
Sure, LIV Golf, which this week already “postponed” its upcoming event in New Orleans to a fall date, might stage more tournaments before the doors are officially shuttered.
But the Saudi-backed rival tour to the PGA Tour is about to be Saudi-backed no longer, according to a Wednesday report in The Wall Street Journal.
And that’s a death knell for the swashbuckling tour that came in hot, rattled cages at PGA Tour headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., and made a lot of players — both on LIV and on the PGA Tour (which panicked too late and bloated tournament purses in an effort to slow the LIV invasion) — generational money.
