Business of Golf
The business landscape for professional golf remains turbulent following the conclusion of the LIV season. Reports indicate that while plans are being worked on for new financing, the future of the upstart league remains highly uncertain. The Athletic describes the situation as a shift from attempting to usurp the PGA Tour to a fight for mere survival, with "LIV Golf 1.0" meeting an unceremonious end.
Golf Digest notes a somber mood at the season's end, describing the champagne celebration as likely the last time anyone could "pretend the league had a future worth toasting".
Coming Up
The immediate focus shifts to the conclusion of the BMW Championship, which serves as a qualifier for upcoming Signature Events and majors. The field for the subsequent TOUR Championship is loaded with marquee names including Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Cameron Young, Matt Fitzpatrick, Viktor Hovland, Collin Morikawa, and defending champion Tommy Fleetwood, all competing for the $10 million winner's check.
