LIV Golf gets $300m financing offer amid restructuring
LIV Golf has secured a possible $300m financing package from BC Partners Credit as it seeks to exit bankruptcy restructuring. The league filed for Chapter 11 protection in September after Saudi Arabia ended its funding, and players are owed at least $45m. The investment, subject to court approval, would support a 2027 season in which players could become equity owners.
If court-approved, the financing could stabilize LIV’s 2027 plans, affecting players, staff, sponsors and host communities. Players owed money may face delayed or partial recovery, while those offered equity could gain a different stake in the league. Fans may see another season of uncertainty over fields and venues. The outcome may also influence how investors and sports bodies view bankruptcy and player-ownership models, though its broader social and economic effects remain uncertain.
