LIV Golf to cancel season-ending Team Championship tournament

LIV Golf are set to cancel their season-ending Team Championship tournament, according to reports.

The event, which is scheduled to begin on August 27 in Michigan, was due to be the final date on the 2026 calendar for the competition, which will be without Saudi Public Investment Fund backing after the conclusion of this season.

However, ground pass and hospitality tickets for the tournament at The Cardinal at Saint John’s course are no longer available on the LIV Golf website and numerous media reports state next week’s event in Indiana will bring the campaign to a close.

The news occurs at a time where the future of Jon Rahm as a member of the LIV Golf series is uncertain amid a change in financial backing for the contentious breakaway tour.

Last Wednesday it was announced a new “lead investor” for LIV Golf had been found, with an “agreement in place” that had been “signed by the investor and approved by the board.”

A statement did confirm the deal was still to be finalised, but was expected to be completed in the “coming weeks.”

Nevertheless, the prospect of the Team Championship being cancelled will spark more fears within LIV Golf circles about the future of the tour.
