Rory McIlroy says he expects some golfers to leave LIV Golf as uncertainty grows following the league’s U.S. filing for bankruptcy protection. He links the move to a likely change in LIV’s ability to honour existing terms with players, which could open the door for renegotiations or exits.
LIV’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing is described as the latest step in restarting the business after funding from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund was removed. One report notes that contracts have not yet been formally breached, but that deals with major names may become unaffordable under a revised “LIV 2.0” model. Other outlets focus more directly on McIlroy’s prediction that players will seek opportunities elsewhere rather than remain with a revamped and potentially less lucrative circuit.
