LIV Golf future to be decided by end of October
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Oct, 00:02 · Archive
A decision on whether LIV Golf continues or winds down will be made by the end of October, a court hearing was told.
A decision on whether LIV Golf continues operations or launches a proposed 2.0 model will be made by the end of October, LIV's attorney Rob Fitzgerald told a US federal bankruptcy court judge.
The DP World Tour has issued an ultimatum requiring players to choose between LIV 2.0 and the European circuit for next season, ending the ability to compete on both. DP World Tour chief executive Guy Kinnings said in a statement that 'players need to make a choice'.
LIV's legal team expressed concern about the timing of this ultimatum. Fitzgerald told the court the ultimatum appeared designed to interfere with LIV's reorganisation process and raised anti-competitive concerns similar to those LIV has previously alleged against competing leagues. Judge Michael Kaplan acknowledged the comments raised concerns and asked to be informed of further developments. The DP World Tour declined to comment beyond Kinnings's statement.
