LIV Golf has officially filed for bankruptcy—so what happens to the players, their massive contracts, and the future of the league? In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down LIV Golf's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and what it could mean for the future of the controversial golf league. The filing has revealed new details about LIV Golf's financial situation, including reported liabilities, remaining cash, money allegedly owed to top players, and the proposed restructuring plan that could determine whether the league survives into 2027. We discuss what happens to existing player contracts, why golfers like Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson, Cameron Smith, and Tyrrell Hatton could face major decisions, and how LIV's proposed new ownership model would give players significant equity in the league. We also examine the reported $300 million investment proposal from BC Partners and the tight deadline LIV faces to secure enough player support to emerge from bankruptcy. Finally, we revisit Greg Norman's recent comments about LIV Golf's biggest strategic mistake, including his belief that the league became too focused on the United States, and debate the larger question: how did a golf league backed by billions of dollars in funding ultimately end up in bankruptcy?   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

Troubled LIV Golf finally filed its long-awaited Chapter 11 bankruptcy paperwork on Tuesday in a New Jersey court. A Chapter 11 bankruptcy attempts to restructure the company’s debts but also allows the entity to continue operations.  Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings usually signal the white flag of financial surrender. The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) spent upwards of $6 billion to sign PGA golf stars and then bankroll dozens of worldwide golf events over the past five years.  Saudi’s PIF finally decided to turn-off the money-printing machine operated by LIV Golf at the end of August. This upstart golf league is now desperately shaking the financial bushes in search of new sources of financing. They want to re-launch the golf league in 2027 as LIV Golf 2.0. After the Saudi PIF announced it was pulling the financial plug in late August, LIV Golf appointed some new executives to its board.  Their resumes are filled with corporate restructuring experience. They truly have their work cut out for them. Eugene Davis is one of the new leaders.  He is CEO of privately-held Pirinate Consulting Group which specializes in corporate turnarounds. LIV Golf named the 71-year old Davis as its Chairman of the Independent Directors Committee a few months ago.  You will find his name listed all over this week’s LIV Golf Chapter 11 filing. Davis said in April, 2026, “LIV Golf…has built a global league with passionate fans, world-class talent, and demonstrated commercial momentum.” His new management team is intent on launching LIV 2.0 in 2027.  Maybe. In order to begin LIV 2.0, “Classic” LIV Golf has a lot of debtors to settle-up with Tuesday’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing (click here to read the actual document) listed LIV Golf’s assets of “more than $100 million but less than $500 million.”  Liabilities showed “more than $500 million but less than $1 billion” due its creditors. Let’s take the worst case.  Assume LIV Golf has $100 million in assets but nearly $1 billion in liabilities. That means that creditors might receive (perhaps) 10 cents on the dollar in value.  That value won’t necessarily be in cash, either.  Some creditors may receive a proportionate share of the ownership in a newly emerging golf entity. Nearly half of the top 30 creditors owed the most money by LIV Golf are, indeed, the golfers.  All seven of the top names on the IOU list are LIV golfers: Jon Rahm – $7.5 million Bryson DeChambeau – $5.8 million Dustin Johnson – $5.5 million Cam Smith – $4.8 million Adrian Meronk – $4.4 million Tyrell Hatton – $3.4 million Bubba Watson – $3.3 million Other golfers owed big money by “Classic” LIV are: Abraham Ancer (9) – $2.7 million Ben An (10) – $1.8 million Brooks Koepka (12) – $1.7 million Caleb Surratt (17) – $1.3 million Joaquin Niemann (18) – $1.3 million Lucas Herbert (24) – $1 million Tom McKibbin (27) – $1 million These IOU’s for these 14 golfers appeared under the heading “Player Participation Agreement.” LIV Golf signed most of its pro golfers from either the PGA Tour or the DP (European) Tour.  Their individual contracts are quite private. The “Player Participation Agreement” likely requires each LIV golfer to tee it up in each of LIV Golf’s events during the season. Brooks Keopka (#12 on the IOU list at $1.7 mm) negotiated an exit from LIV Golf after the 2025 golf season and returned to the PGA Tour in 2026. Perhaps Koepka’s exit agreement from LIV Golf may have included some form of deferred compensation which was to be paid in 2026 or a future year. For Jon Rahm (who signed with LIV Golf for $300 million) and Bryson DeChambeau ($125 million), the remaining money owed to each of them in this bankruptcy filing (though significant) is a relatively small percentage of their original packages. Not all golfers signed by LIV Golf became filthy rich For some like Northern Ireland’s Tom McKibbin ($1 million due), that amount owned by LIV Golf is a significant percentage of his estimated $5 million contract.  McKibbin told reporters recently that he remains under his LIV Golf contract “for a few more years.” Tom McKibbin and several other LIV golfers have begun participating on the DP World Tour this fall while waiting on LIV Golf’s restructuring. He (and several other LIV golfers including former World #1 ranked Jon Rahm) will be forced to make a decision soon. The DP World Tour announced that it will not allow LIV Golf players to play on both tours beginning in 2027. Golfers must choose one league and stick with it for the entire season. LIV Golf’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing may nudge some players like Tom McKibbin to cut their losses and return to the lower-paying but more financially secure DP World Tour in 2027. Where was Phil Mickelson’s name in this filing? The list of top 30 creditors in LIV Golf’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing did not mention Phil Mickelson.  He became LIV’s first big name star to bolt from the PGA Tour and join LIV Golf in 2022.  His contract with the new golf league was reportedly worth $200 million. Lefty participated on the LIV Golf Tour for the league’s first four seasons ending in 2025.  Phil Mickelson’s contractual obligations to LIV Golf may have ended at that time.  He did not play in LIV Golf events during 2026 due to an ongoing medical issue involving a close family member. Welcome to the LIV Golf bankruptcy filing, Louisiana! Another notable party owed a significant amount of money is the State of Louisiana (#20 at $1.22 million). LIV Golf was originally slated to play a golf tournament beginning June 25 at the newly renovated City Park golf course in New Orleans.  A local television station reported that City Park had received $2 million in state government funding to upgrade its golf course and facilities ahead of the proposed LIV Golf event.  Another $1 million was reportedly advanced to LIV Golf by the state as part of the deal. The New Orleans LIV Golf event was postponed in late April with no reasons given.  There had been speculation that LIV Golf was attempting to reschedule the tournament for this fall. After Tuesday’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, there is a zero percent chance that LIV Golf will be hosting an event in New Orleans this fall. What else was contained in the LIV Golf Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing? Tuesday’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing told a lot about LIV Golf’s financial pickle. I was surprised to see that the Saudi PIF was willing to loan nearly $50 million to LIV Golf (as Debtor in Possession).  That money should be used to help LIV Golf stay afloat for a few more months as the entity tries to acquire and implement new sources of funding. According to bankruptcy rules, the “Debtor in Possession” is expected to be paid back first. There were an amazing 56 different LIV Golf corporate entities listed on the bankruptcy filing. Those names included seven which began with the term “LIV Golf” (such as LIV Golf Inc., Holdings, Ltd., Investments, and Events).  Another group of eight entities began with the golf term “Wedge” (clever, eh?). Then there were 13 different consecutively-numbered entities such as “FAIRWAY TM BLOCKER 1, LLC”.  Another 13 LIV entities used consecutively-numbered names such as “FAIRWAY TM INTERMEDIATE 1, LLC” on the bankruptcy filing. Speaking of the number 13, LIV Golf conducted exactly 13 tournaments in 2026.  Does each tournament have its own separate corporate entities to account for tournament revenues and expenses? LIV Golf’s corporate structure made me wonder if they had planned for a possible future financial failure (bankruptcy) from the very beginning. What’s next for LIV Golf? Tuesday’s LIV Golf bankruptcy filing also contained information confirming the identity of at least one new source of future funding. Private equity company BC Partners is willing to invest up to $300 million if LIV Golf 2.0 gets off the ground in 2027. Keep in mind that the Saudi Public Investment Fund lost about $1 billion per year with LIV Golf. LIV 2.0 will need to drastically cut its tournament payouts and other operating expenses by more than 50% for the new investor(s) to have a chance of becoming successful. LIV Golf’s ever-optimistic CEO Scott O’Neil wrote on Tuesday, “The next phase of LIV Golf will be built around a sustainable business model and deeper alignment between the players and the League, with team golf at its core.” His press release mentioned LIV 2.0 would expand to 75 players next year and introduce a cut line during each event.  Expect to hear the same on-course thumping music blaring again in 2027, too. Party on, Garth! The CEO is proud that LIV Golf’s average audience is about 20 years younger than the PGA Tour’s Medicare-aged viewers.  LIV Golf deserves credit for admitting children under 12 years of age free of charge into its golf tournaments. Scott O’Neil is paid handsomely to speak lovingly about his golf product. File this away The truth remains that LIV’s worldwide golf events played across vastly different time zones makes for a very difficult television sell to US-based advertisers. LIV Golf’s lack of a consistent weekly TV starting time and weekly TV channel in the US (yes, I’m talking to you, FOX Sports) makes it hard to imagine how this league will earn enough revenue to turn the financial corner. As mentioned in a previous post, keep your eye on top LIV golfer Jon Rahm this fall.  If he bolts to play in the DP World Tour in 2027, a massive exodus of top LIV Golf talent will follow. LIV “lives” – at least for now! The post LIV Golf Files Chapter 11 – The End or the Next Chapter? appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Charlie and Charlie take a deep dive into the rise and apparent collapse of LIV Golf, tracing the breakaway tour back to its ambitious launch in 2021 and the huge Saudi investment behind its attempt to challenge the PGA Tour. They examine the extraordinary financial packages offered to players, the appeal of guaranteed money and franchise equity, and why stars including Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm made the move while Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy stayed away.From LIV's failure to secure the distribution, audiences and fan loyalty needed to make the model commercially viable to the fundamental problems with team golf and its lack of history and heritage, they ask where the breakaway tour went wrong. With the 2026 season ending early, players and suppliers reportedly owed money and a proposed "LIV 2.0" involving fewer events and lower prize money, they explore whether LIV can actually survive in any meaningful form. Could Saudi Arabia have achieved its ambitions by investing in the existing European Tour instead? What happens to the LIV golfers now? And was the entire project doomed by the strategy from the very beginning?Disclaimer:The content of this podcast is intended as commentary and opinion on matters of public interest in the sports industry.

YouTube Golf just had a MONSTER weekend. Kevin Hart officially launched his own golf channel, Riggs delivered a spectacular H8er Series match on Fore Play Golf, and Joey Cold Cuts and Bob Does Sports went to battle in an absolutely WILD stroke-play match. And if that wasn't enough, Bryson DeChambeau teamed up with golf LEGEND Gary Player in his latest attempt to Break 50.

Rich Lerner stops by the SO COOL Zone presented by Southern Company to talk about the TOUR Championship and his new book, Aren't You That Golf Guy? - Doglegs and Detours from a Life in the Game. Rich Lerner's lively collection of golf stories is a love letter to a game that is as elusive as it is emotionally transformative. From his early days working at his father’s driving range with his three brothers to his three decades covering golf’s biggest stars and most historic championships, Rich Lerner has lived a lucky life in golf. He went from rubbing shoulders with hard-drinking, Allentown golf pros in the ’70s to playing his first money match (against “The Pigeon”) to crossing paths with Arnie to a circuitous route to the Golf Channel just as Tiger Woods arrived on the scene.In Aren't You That Golf Guy?, Golf Channel’s master storyteller shares decades of his best stories. It's funny, provocative, poignant and personal, with deep dives on Tiger, Rory, Phil, Jack, and Arnie, plus hilarious celebrity encounters with the likes of Samuel L. Jackson and Will Ferrell, not to mention bawdy tales from the driving range.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning start the second hour chatting with CBS NFL analyst, Charles Davis!

After the break, they welcome Bob Harig, writer of the Daily Drive, to discuss the PGA Tour Championship, upcoming format changes, potential Tour Player of the Year candidates, and the futures of Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and LIV Golf.

NUCLR Golf's Founder, John, joins Garrett Johnston this week to recep the final event of LIV Golf's 2026 season and give thoughts on what he thinks is next for LIV Golf as a league. What will Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, and Ian Poulter do next? Will they stay or will they leave LIV Golf? Bryson DeChambeau has a lot on his plate, so what does a LIV 2.0 look like for the league's most important player and the consumate YoutTube Golf creator?

Andy and Brendan jam together early on the heels of Brian Rolapp’s press conference at the Tour Championship in Atlanta to discuss the latest wave of news in the continued makeover of the PGA Tour. They cover the new year-end format -- a season finale stroke play event followed by TWO WEEKS of match play in what will be known as the Tour Championship. Did the Tour nail it? Can this really pop as a mixture of the World Cup and March Madness? They cover the risks and potential rewards for the fans as well as the Tour. Also discussed are the rounds of questions about LIV returnees, sponsor interest, and TV network deals. Then they get to the schedule for the week, where they take great amusement in having to suffer through TWO more Tour Championships of the old, dumpy model, now that news of the future model has been announced. News covers some cryptic instagramming from Bryson DeChambeau and if he’s actually gone from LIV following the expiration of his contract this past week.

Perhaps the searing August heat has begun to take its toll.  We have just emerged from yet another weird weekend in sports with an assortment of strange things occurring. Let’s (briefly) venture outside to review a few more odd August sports stories. LSU expected to sign a tight end who was just cut by the Cleveland Browns? Ole Miss football fans were already incensed about former head coach Lane Kiffin’s departure at the end of last season.  The Rebels will host Kiffin’s LSU Tigers in Oxford on Saturday, September 19 in a nationally televised made-for-media marquis match-up. America’s most popular coach (to hate or to love) not only left Ole Miss before last year’s College Football Playoffs.  He brought along a handful of his Ole Miss players and a few dozen of his assistant coaches and staffers to Baton Rouge, too. On Sunday, we learned that Coach Kiffin is about to add a talented former Ole Miss tight end to the Tigers’ roster.  This particular tight end had been spending his summer practicing and playing for the NFL’s Cleveland Browns. How can a player who has been playing (even for a few months) with a professional football team be allowed return to play college football? The NCAA recently changed its rules.  Beginning this year, college athletes will now be allowed five years of eligibility over a five year period.  What about college athletes who participated last year assuming they were in their fourth and final year of eligibility?  They left school in the spring believing they had used-up all of their college sports eligibility.  Oops!  Did the NCAA just overlook them in their new rule? In general, there are not a lot of top college football players who started and played for four consecutive years now willing to return to college football this fall for a fifth season.   Some have found paying jobs in the NFL.  Others are finding work outside of football. As you might have guessed, lawsuits have been filed by some of last season’s college athletes arguing that the NCAA’s new rules should allow them the right to return to college to play in a fifth year this season. Former Ole Miss tight end Dae’Quan Wright played for Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin the past two seasons. He finished his fourth year of eligibility last fall and spent the summer trying to make the final roster of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns. Dae’Quan Wright did not get to play in any of the Browns’ preseason games.  He was just waived by Cleveland. Once he clears waivers early this week (and no other NFL team signs him), Brown plans to return to college to play for his former college coach who now works in Baton Rouge. But wait – doesn’t LSU already have a talented 6’7” tight end on their team? Indeed, they do! Junior tight end Trey’Dez Green was one of LSU’s top receivers last season.  The south Louisiana product became a second team All-SEC tight end after his sophomore season last fall. Green isn’t just 6’7” tall.  He is a talented basketball player who averaged 27 points per game as a center on his high school roundball team.  Green’s unique skills have many professional scouts drooling as he returns for his junior season in Baton Rouge this fall. Why would LSU football coach Lane Kiffin want to add another tight end only two weeks before the Tigers kick-off the new season at home against Clemson? Perhaps another way to look at this is why would Kiffin NOT want to sign another talented tight end right before the season begins. Dae’Quan Wright (the former Ole Miss player) is already familiar with Coach Kiffin’s playbook.  LSU’s acquisition of a second talented tight end would also prevent the former Ole Miss football player from heading back to Oxford (or to Tuscaloosa, Austin, Auburn, etc.) Let’s not fool ourselves.  This isn’t about Dae’Quan Wright’s loyalty to Lane Kiffin. He is likely coming to LSU, because the price is right. Oregon football coach Dan Lanning (like many of us) doesn’t like the court’s decision This year’s AP preseason #2 Oregon Ducks are expected to make a run at the national championship.  Coach Dan Lanning does not care for the court’s ruling which would allow some football players to return to college after being cut by an NFL team this month. Over the weekend, Lanning said, “Once you go to the NFL, I mean, you’re in the NFL.  You don’t get the opportunity to come back (to college football).  So, if you invite somebody back to your team, that means your kicking somebody else off your team, right?” Indeed, it does!  That’s a very noble stance, Coach Lanning! On the other hand, I wonder what the Oregon coach would do if his starting tight end from last year’s team wanted to return after being cut by an NFL team last week? LIV Golf Season 5 ended with a Cinderella story winner! Did you watch the FOX Sports Sunday afternoon coverage of (perhaps) the final round ever to be played by LIV Golf? The upstart golf league has lost $6 billion in five years.  Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund pulled the plug on the money tree after yesterday’s final event of the 2026 season in Indianapolis.  The league’s future is shaky at best. I watched as LIV Golf’s $300 million bonus baby Jon Rahm and $125 million bonus signee Bryson DeChambeau battled back and forth for the lead.  Rahm fired a nifty 63 on Sunday to edge DeChambeau’s bogey-free 64. While those two very wealthy golfers traded blows Sunday afternoon, a 22-year old golfer on the verge of losing his spot on the LIV Golf tour quietly zoomed past both titans to claim the title. Michael La Sasso won the US Amateur in 2025 after a great collegiate season at Ole Miss.  Winning the US Amateur title last summer earned La Sasso the right to play at The Masters and in this summer’s US Open – as long as he remained an amateur golfer. La Sasso decided to forego his chance to play Augusta National and Shinnecock Hills and turned professional.  He joined LIV Golf to become part of absentee captain Phil Mickelson’s HyFlyers golf team. Michael La Sasso struggled this spring and summer in his rookie season as a professional golfer. He was mired in 53rd place in the LIV Golf standings heading into this weekend’s season ending event.  The young golfer was on the LIV Golf chopping block (called “relegation”) if he was unable to earn enough money to move into the top 48 golfers.  He would have been out of a job – regardless of whether LIV Golf returns again in 2027. La Sasso is definitely safe now! He fired a sizzling 10-under par 60 in Round 2 and took a slim lead over tour veterans Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau entering Sunday’s big finale. The climactic 72nd hole saw the rookie golfer calmly loft a nifty 20-yard pitch shot onto the green.  His ball rolled downhill and came to rest within one foot of the cup to insure Michael La Sasso’s one shot victory over Jon Rahm. His 18-under par total carried a first place check worth more than $2 million. Most importantly, the rookie golfer zoomed up to #14 in the final LIV Golf rankings for 2026. Well played, Michael La Sasso! The WNBA has learned well from professional wrestling I will spare you the details concerning a few recent events featuring the Women’s NBA (WNBA), its fans, and several of the players this season.  You have likely read and heard enough. Like professional wrestling, the WNBA has learned that any publicity (generally) beats no publicity. Recent controversies have kept the league front and center in the sports headlines. Quick – Can you tell me which team leads the WNBA today? (Answer – the Minnesota Lynx is 31-7 and leads the league by five games coming down the stretch) The good news has been that WNBA attendance is growing.  Pay for players has been rising.  New teams have been added in the past few years with more new franchises on the horizon. For all of the good news, some of the WNBA’s players and fans have been getting fighting mad recently.  This stuff has been coming right out of the professional wrestling playbook. Sunday’s latest publicity stunt came as Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham and the Indiana Fever visited the Windy City to play the Chicago Sky. Former NBA center Enes Kanter (who changed his last name to Enes Freedom a few years ago) recently declared that he wants to play in the WNBA next season. The league’s current rules are too vague to know whether the 6’10” Enos Kanter-Freedom (his last name could change again by the end of this story) will succeed in joining the women’s basketball league next year. That classic wrestling story line should serve to keep WNBA fans on edge for at least the next six months. The aforementioned “Enes-the-Menace” decided to check-out a WNBA game. He obtained a prime seat near the basket during Sunday night’s game in Chicago. The 6’10” giant was spotted sitting in the crowd late in the third quarter by Chicago Sky guard “Nasty” Natasha Cloud.  Instead of heading toward her bench during a called timeout, an angry-looking 5’10” Cloud walked toward the towering 34-year old former NBA player. Cloud appeared to spew a number of, uh, Chicago-styled greetings toward the giant ticket holder.  That’s when stadium security intervened. “Enes-the-Menace” was escorted out of the building (wonder if he received a refund?). For her part in starting this incident, “Nasty” Natasha Cloud was allowed to remain in the game. As of press time, the WWE (oops, I meant the WNBA) has not addressed the Chicago Sky guard’s unexpected and unnecessary aggressive move toward a 6’10” paying customer. Her distracted Chicago Sky team never recovered.  Caitlin Clark tallied 37 points and ten assists for the winners as Indiana darkened the Chicago Sky with an easy 113-90 victory. Any publicity beats no publicity, right? The post It’s Gotta be this August Heat! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Gary Williams opens Wednesday's 5 Clubs on Golf Channel and PGA Tour Radio, Channel 92 on SiriusXM, presented by Sentry Insurance, with the standings and scenarios heading into the BMW Championship at Bellerive Country Club. He runs through the players fighting to reach East Lake, from J.J. Spaun's comfortable position at 21 to the Hail Mary math facing players like Michael Brennan, Matt McCarty and Ryo Hisatsune in the 45 to 50 range. Gary then spends time on the remarkable parallel careers of Adam Scott and Justin Rose, two 46 year old major champions born two weeks apart in 1980 whose win totals, earnings and career arcs mirror each other almost exactly.Sean Zak of Golf Magazine and golf.com joins Gary from Indianapolis to discuss the chaotic final week of LIV Golf's 2026 season. Zak details unpaid vendors, mounting lawsuits and signs pointing toward bankruptcy, and traces the collapse of merger talks between the PGA Tour and the Public Investment Fund back to a tense meeting involving Jay Monahan and Yasir Al-Rumayyan. The conversation turns to Jon Rahm's contract situation and why January 2027 may be the moment his path becomes clear, Bryson DeChambeau's continued commitment to building his own golf spectacle, and the DP World Tour's rising position as a landing spot for players looking to return to the traditional game. Zak and Gary close by putting Scottie Scheffler's five year run in context, from his breakout Phoenix win in 2022 to the gap he has now opened over the rest of the world ranking.Keith Stewart of Read the Line breaks down Bellerive Country Club ahead of the BMW Championship, describing a Rees Jones redesign with wide Zoysia fairways, sectioned green complexes and soft conditions following rain. Stewart identifies total driving and proximity from 175 yards and beyond as the keys to the week, and singles out Sam Burns and Si-Woo Kim as players overdue for a win after standout seasons.

When we make a mistake, we should not look for somebody to cover up our mistake for us or fail to acknowledge that we were wrong. This happened in golf recently in the British Open. Bryson DeChambeau was given a two-shot penalty because he improved his lie by mashing down some of the grass. Bryson initially threatened to call President Trump to see if he could remove the penalty. Many of the golfers playing with him were disappointed in his reaction to the penalty. When you receive a correction, justified or not, how do you react to it? If you are wrong, are you willing to admit that you are wrong and move on to doing something better? If you are right, are you willing to humbly accept the fact that referees and officials sometimes make mistakes, and move on? It's your choice.

Those who follow my posts know that I have been a supporter of LIV Golf since Day 1 (Spring, 2022). Every PGA Tour golfer should be thankful to LIV Golf for introducing some much needed competition during the past five years.  The stodgy PGA Tour’s tournament payouts have risen after LIV Golf began poaching several top golfers. The remaining stars of the PGA Tour are now pocketing significant long-term benefits after a new incentive bonus system was instituted two years ago to retain top talent. As of today, LIV Golf will need a major miracle to continue in 2027.  It is officially “Hail Mary” time for the fifth year golf league. Reports continue to circulate this week that LIV Golf is canceling its $40 million season-ending tournament near Detroit, Michigan in two weeks.  That would make next weekend’s (August 20-23) LIV Golf event near Indianapolis the final tournament of 2026. It also might become the final event ever for LIV Golf. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil has the most difficult job in professional sports How would you like to be in charge of an organization which just lost 100% of its funding, and your top performers are openly discussing jumping ship? Chief Executive Officer Scott O’Neil took over the top role at LIV Golf after World Golf Hall-of-Famer Greg Norman left in early 2025. O’Neil’s background included running Madison Square Garden Sports (basketball’s New York Knicks and hockey’s New York Rangers).  He later became CEO for the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers and the NHL New Jersey Devils. O’Neil’s latest role at LIV Golf should be titled “Chief Magician” if this golf enterprise is going to survive into 2027. The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) has lost upwards of $6 billion after five years of bankrolling LIV Golf.  They finally saw the light and are bailing out after LIV’s final event this month. Scott O’Neil has been scrambling for months trying to find new financial backers.  Those interested in LIV Golf will be investing in a sports league best known for hemorrhaging massive amounts of cash. Good luck with that sales pitch! Last week, Scott O’Neil said, “Notably, our next chapter will make our players the majority equity holders in LIV Golf…and gives the league the foundation to keep the game growing worldwide.  We anticipate finalizing terms in the coming weeks.” Let’s analyze that last statement a little closer LIV Golf’s CEO is saying that he wants to make the golfers the MAJORITY equity holders in the organization going forward? My Dad was not a big fan of televised golf.  Though one of his sons (me) fell in love with the sport at age 8, Dad often laughed as golfers agonized over their putts.  He would say, “If those guys were out there playing for their own money, this might be a lot more interesting to watch!” If LIV Golf tees it up again in 2027, my Dad (viewing golf from heaven since 2001) may get his wish with players having their own financial stake in the golf league. The LIV Golf bonus babies may determine the future of their own league LIV Golf was able to get off the ground five years ago only after the Saudi PIF generously opened their wallets to buy talent.  More than $1 billion in bonus money was needed to sign a number of the top PGA golfers. Remember Phil Mickelson?  The six-time major champion was one of the first top golfers to switch to LIV Golf. He received a reported $200 million signing bonus.  Season One at LIV Golf featured the signings of Brooks Koepka ($130 million), Dustin Johnson ($125 million) and Bryson DeChambeau ($125 million). The other fifty LIV Golfers (the league features 54 players) received varying amounts in signing bonuses, too.  Former major champions such as Patrick Reed ($100 million), Louis Oosthuizen ($50 million) and Sergio Garcia ($40 million) came aboard in 2022 to help get LIV up and running (while assuring their own long-term financial futures). Australia’s Cam Smith ($140 million) was added to begin the 2023 season.  Spain’s Jon Rahm ($300 million) followed in Year #3 and became the highest paid golfer in the LIV Golf portfolio. Those nine LIV Golf signees I have mentioned required an outlay of more than $1.2 billion. Let’s say that the remaining 45 LIV golfers were signed for a “paltry” total of $300 million.  That would have brought 2022’s total initial investment (before one hole of golf was even played) to more than $1.5 billion. Each golfer’s LIV contract agreement is confidential.  My best guess would be most LIV golfers received a portion of their signing bonus up front (perhaps 25% or more) with the remainder being paid annually over the term of their agreement. By the way, Jon Rahm’s $300 million agreement apparently covered six years (2024-2029 golf seasons).  He is now halfway through his contractual commitment. SOS – There’s an iceberg dead ahead for the S.S. LIV Golf The biggest problem with LIV Golf (in addition to their lousy TV contract with FOX Sports) is that the tournament payouts greatly exceed the revenues generated.  The cost of tournaments and operations has been unsustainable from Day 1. Some reports estimate LIV Golf has lost upwards of $1 billion annually (excluding the money spent on those signing bonuses). What is likely to happen to each of the highest paid LIV golf stars in 2027? (Note – All signing bonuses and contract terms mentioned here are my own best guesses after reviewing a number of online resources). Jon Rahm ($300 mm) – The most expensive golfer for LIV Golf appears ready to walk the plank and take a financial write-off soon. Rahm is just 31 years of age.  He has at least a decade of top level golf still ahead of him. Rahm is under contract with LIV Golf for another three years.  If LIV Golf should survive into 2027, they must pay Rahm the fourth year portion of his contract/signing bonus.  Should LIV Golf file for bankruptcy at some point, Rahm would be fortunate to receive a dime once the Saudi’s bail out later this month. My best guesses? I predict that Jon Rahm will voluntarily walk away from LIV Golf soon.  He would keep whatever bonus money he has already been paid by LIV Golf.  Rahm would also forfeit the remainder of his contract and join the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour) beginning in early 2027.  The talented Jon Rahm will eventually make his way back to the PGA Tour. Phil Mickelson ($200 mm) – Lefty’s signing bonus/contract with LIV Golf was rumored to be for a four year period.  That means that Mickelson had received 100% of his signing bonus money after the 2025 LIV season ended. Phil is now 56 years of age.  He was a non-factor in the majority of LIV Golf events since the league’s initial season in 2022. Mickelson has been dealing with family-related issues in 2026 and did not participate in any LIV Golf events this year.  There are a lot of rumors flying about Phil’s family situation.  Regardless, Phil Mickelson’s competitive playing days appear to be over. Cameron Smith ($140 mm) – The 32-year old Australian golfer won the 2022 Open Championship.  He was the #2 ranked player in the world at the time he signed with LIV Golf prior to the 2023 season.  Cam Smith is captain of the popular LIV Golf Australian team called the Rippers. Smith likely has one or more years remaining on his LIV Golf contract.  I expect him (and his Aussie team) to stick together in 2027 should the league somehow survive.  If LIV Golf goes under, Smith (like many non-US golfers in the league) may attempt to enter the DP World Tour in 2027. Brooks Koepka ($130 mm) – Koepka quietly negotiated an exit deal from his LIV Golf agreement at the end of the 2025 season.  After meeting conditions set by the PGA Tour, Brooks Koepka rejoined the traditional golf tour this year.  He is ranked #82 on the PGA’s money list this year with earnings of $1.7 million. Dustin Johnson ($125 mm) – Surprisingly, DJ signed a contract extension to remain with LIV Golf through the 2029 golf season. Johnson is captain of the successful 4Aces golf team and seems to enjoy his role within LIV Golf. Bryson DeChambeau ($125 mm) – Unlike Dustin Johnson, DeChambeau rejected a contract extension request by LIV Golf after the 2025 season.  His initial agreement will expire at the end of the 2026 season (less than two weeks from now). The 32-year old DeChambeau has been the most vocal supporter of LIV Golf since the league began. He might be negotiating to become part of the new ownership team if the league survives into 2027.  Bryson DeChambeau has nearly three million subscribers to his popular YouTube channel.  He is already one of the world’s most popular golfers.  DeChambeau will be fine. Patrick Reed ($100 mm) – Like Brooks Koepka, Patrick Reed pulled the plug on LIV Golf once his contract ended at the end of 2025.  He then reapplied for entry to the PGA Tour and, after meeting the Tour’s requirements, will become eligible to play again during September’s fall schedule. All the remaining LIV Golfers – Most of the initial group of LIV Golf signees will have collected their entire bonus by the end of August, 2026.  Others who were added since Year #1 (2022 season) will likely remain with LIV Golf – should the league continue in 2027. Summary Keep your eye on any news involving Jon Rahm and LIV Golf. If Rahm decides to walk away soon (and I think he will), the future of LIV Golf becomes even more doubtful.  Fewer top stars will mean that LIV Golf’s tournament payouts will take an even bigger cut in 2027. The iceberg is in full view for LIV Golf. It’s time to brace for impact! The post LIV Golf – Turn out the Lights – the Party’s (almost) Over appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

An "invigorated" Brendan kicks off this Friday episode with some observations from two days at Merion Golf Club as the 2026 U.S. Amateur has now reached the match play rounds. He and Andy discuss the early results and they wonder if the USGA should re-seed the bracket to avoid top players facing each other too early. Brendan also passes along some feedback from the ground about Wednesday's segment regarding Ben Hogan's famous one-iron, but Andy doubles down on the fact that the plaque could be better served commemorating a different moment from Hogan's round. The two debate Merion's status as a top-tier championship venue and whether it could host a U.S. Open given its current setup, with more to come on this topic on Monday. In Memphis, Jordan Spieth is out to an early lead at the FedEx St. Jude as he looks to finish in the top ten for the first time this season. Rory McIlroy turned in a 74 in his first competitive round since Birkdale, but he'll have to suffer through three more days of the heat given this is a no-cut event. On Thursday morning, James Corrigan reported that LIV officials were "resigned" to the fact that Jon Rahm will not return for the 2027 season, seemingly setting him up for a full year on the DP World Tour instead. Andy and Brendan discuss what this means for LIV 2.0 and its possible lone star, Bryson DeChambeau. Lastly, Kevin Van Valkenburg once again joins for a B.

Andy and Brendan! went LIVE on YouTube for a Summer Friday recording that recapped the latest news regarding LIV Golf's new "investment." The two discuss LIV CEO Scott O'Neil's initial announcement of an investor signing a terms sheet on Wednesday morning and the ensuing reports that have suggested that this "investment" might really just be a loan. Andy points out that the headlines would be radically different had the announcement been that LIV found a creditor instead of an investor, a spin on the news that is still confusing people days later. Brendan goes through a timeline of follow-up reporting from Axios, The Financial Times, and more to give a full scope of the current status of this "investment." The two wonder how Jon Rahm's massive contract will figure into these future equity negotiations, especially if he leaves the league after the conclusion of the 2026 season. It does seem like Bryson DeChambeau will be sticking around, but will his presence be enough for the reported investors, BC Partners, to actually foot the bill moving forward? After a lengthy LIV Minute, Brendan quizzes Andy on which states are NOT represented by participants at next week's U.S. Amateur before Kevin Van Valkenburg calls in for Flashback Friday. KVV brings a story from the first-ever Presidents Cup about Loren Roberts and a penalty that would set the golf world ablaze if it occurred next month at Medinah.

LIV Golf just pulled off a stunning comeback—but is this really a new beginning or just buying more time? In this episode of The Golf Podcast, we react in real time to one of the biggest twists in professional golf as LIV Golf appears to secure the massive investment needed to survive into 2027 and beyond. Just days after reports suggested the league was on the verge of bankruptcy, Scott O'Neill announced that a lead investor has signed on, with additional investors reportedly interested in supporting LIV's future. We break down what this means for LIV Golf 2.0, including the rumored $250–300 million investment, a reduced 10-event schedule, player equity ownership, potential roster changes, and how stars like Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm could fit into the league's long-term plans. We also discuss whether the 2026 season finale in Michigan is still in jeopardy, what this restructuring means for LIV's financial future, and whether a new relationship with the PGA Tour is now possible. Is this the comeback that saves LIV Golf, or simply a temporary lifeline before even bigger challenges arrive? Join us as we analyze the latest breaking news, debate what comes next, and share our predictions for the future of professional golf.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

LIV Golf may be filing for bankruptcy—but could a $250 million investment save the league before it's too late? In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down the biggest and most confusing LIV Golf story yet as reports emerge that the league is preparing for a potential bankruptcy filing while, at the very same time, other reports claim LIV has secured up to $250 million in new investment to keep the league alive. We unpack what these seemingly contradictory headlines really mean, why bankruptcy doesn't necessarily signal the end of LIV Golf, and how a restructuring could pave the way for a dramatically different LIV Golf 2.0 built around player equity and outside investors. We also discuss what this could mean for stars like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, whether players would choose ownership over guaranteed contracts, and if the league can realistically survive with a leaner schedule and reduced purses. Plus, we revisit the mystery surrounding LIV's Michigan Team Championship after reports of its cancellation stalled without an official announcement, and debate whether a last-minute funding deal could change everything. Is LIV Golf truly on the verge of collapse, or is this simply the next chapter in its evolution? Join us as we separate fact from speculation and examine what could be the most pivotal moment in LIV Golf's short but turbulent history.   Listen to This Week’s Show Download on iTunes here Listen on Spotify here Thanks to this Week’s Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.  From ball to ball, dozen to dozen we should expect our golf ball to perform exactly the same way, shot after shot.

A good old-fashioned Summer Friday episode has graced your feeds. Brendan is especially giddy after a 61(!) from Peppy Peter Malnati kicked off the final Rocket Classic. He and Andy discuss the PGA Tour’s new “silent feed” and other early returns from a new-look Detroit Golf Club. There is a bit of golf news to discuss, as the New York Post has reported that LIV will receive an investment of $250m at some point in September to keep the league afloat. Andy compares this number to the reported asks and offers to Bryson DeChambeau earlier this year and wonders if it’ll be enough sustain whatever “LIV 2.0” may be. After “Caddie Minute” on Wednesday’s episode, Andy was called into duty by an Illini star at the Western Am. He takes Brendan through his day on the bag and implores anyone in the area to attend the final days of the event this weekend. Speaking of caddies, Charley Hull proudly pranked her looper into thinking he won $100,000 on a scratch-off. Brendan and PJ can’t believe that she’d proudly discuss this with anyone, much less during a major-week press conference, but Andy claims the world needs more pranks. There are no pranks discussed in a lengthy Golf Advice segment to round out this week of shows, but Andy and Brendan do answer questions about golf travel, bookies, and more!

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 391 by previewing football season for patrons before a laugh about Scott's father-in-law hijacking the family's evening. They hit the Mariners' 100-game .500 mark, reminisce about the Big Red Machine, then shift to the World Cup, where both stayed hooked long after Team USA's exit. Mitch and Scott rave about teenage phenom Lamine Yamal, poke fun at FIFA's halftime show, preview Seahawks camp, Ryan Fox's British Open win, and Bryson DeChambeau's penalty. Ray Roberts and Mitch discuss Seattle's new ownership, why the defending Super Bowl champs still seem overlooked, and what the Seahawks gained—and lost—this offseason. Roberts also shares hilarious training camp stories, from sneaking home to sleep in his own bed to finally meeting childhood hero Ed "Too Tall" Jones, the player who inspired him to wear No. 72. Mitch, Joe Doyle, and Brady Farkas break down another uneven Mariners series as Seattle reaches the 100-game mark at 50-50.

Mitch welcomes three beat reporters who know the Mariners' top draft picks better than anyone. Sam Sklar breaks down first-round slugger Ace Reese, Koki Riley explains why LSU outfielder Jake Brown could become a second-round steal, and Scott Springer profiles Cincinnati right-hander Nathan Taylor, whose bulldog mentality and dominant slider made him one of the draft's best values.

Andy Johnson is joined by 2008 Masters champion and CBS lead analyst Trevor Immelman to recap the final men's major of the year! The two discuss Ryan Fox's win at Royal Birkdale, focusing on the Sunday back nine that earned him the title of Champion Golfer of the Year.

From 07/20 Hour 1: The World Cup, British Open, and Fanatics Fest dominated the headlines around the sports world this weekend. We're closing in on football season but sports have been red hot this summer - and Bryson DeChambeau even made The Open a little more exciting?

Andy returned to join Brendan! for this beefy recap of moving day at Royal Birkdale. The two went LIVE on YouTube right after play ended to discuss the fallout from Bryson's two-stroke penalty, Rory McIlroy's response, and the actual golf tournament that's unfolding. Andy gives his take on the Bryson situation and the two-time major champion's impressive Saturday round that still has him in contention for his first Claret Jug. Rory McIlroy, pending insanity, is not in contention to win, but did offer some pointed thoughts about the penalty and the penalized player in his post-round press conference. Kevin Van Valkenburg stops in to share more thoughts from the ground, including some comments from other players about the penalty and how it was handled by the R&A. Brendan spent the day following the tournament's leader, Sam Burns, who looks to move past the heartbreak of Oakmont, Augusta, and Shinnecock and secure his first major on Sunday afternoon. Andy and Brendan play a lengthy game of Contender or Pretender, highlighting a strong top of the leaderboard after big Saturday rounds from Si Woo Kim and Ludvig Åberg. PJ is called to the carpet to explain Cameron Young's failure to launch despite his place in the penultimate group on Saturday and provides some context for Kevin Kisner's mid-day tweet-spree. To close things out, Brendan once again quizzes Andy on some of the insane official slogans of the Open Championship, found in various places around the golf course this week. We will return on Sunday evening with a comprehensive recap of the 2026 Open Championship and continued coverage of Bryson DeChambeau's latest exploits!

Not so fast! Bryson's penalty controversy and more! Lucas Herbert (-8) and Sam Burns (-5) both post 62s, but that wasn't the biggest story of the day. Bryson DeChambeau was assessed a two-stroke penalty after his round, dropping from solo second to T5. And his third-round status is in question. We break it all down and react live.

Despite two record-tying rounds of 62 on Friday at Royal Birkdale, Bryson DeChambeau remains the lead story yet again. Brendan, Kevin Van Valkenburg, and Joseph LaMagna went LIVE on YouTube to recap the second round of the 2026 Open Championship, only to have a two-shot penalty assessed to DeChambeau, then in second place, derail the entire show. The three reacted in real-time to the theatrics playing out on the fifth hole, where DeChambeau re-enacted his movements from earlier in the day in front of rules officials from the R&A.
