LIV Golf is preparing to announce the cancellation of next month’s season-ending team championship in Michigan, Flushing It Golf reported Tuesday.
The announcement is expected to come on Wednesday, raising more questions about the future of the rival league.
The Michigan event is scheduled for Aug. 27-30 at The Cardinal at Saint John’s Resort in Plymouth, Mich.
It would be the second tournament removed from the 2026 schedule since Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund announced in April that it will stop funding the league at the end of this season. LIV New Orleans originally was set for June 25-28.
If the Michigan tournament is nixed, there will be only two tournaments left on the LIV Golf calendar: LIV Golf New York from Aug. 6-9 at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J.; and LIV Golf Indianapolis from Aug. 20-23 at The Club at Chatham Hills in Westfield, Ind.
LIV Golf played its first tournament since early June last week, with Australia’s Lucas Herbert winning the title at LIV Golf United Kingdom on Sunday in Rocester, England.
LIV golfer Martin Kaymer, the captain of Cleeks GC, said last week that there was only a 5% chance that the finale in Michigan would take place.
