Yes by all reports the entire Legion XIII team is going away. Some players will leave 100%.

Did you make this thread about that or because this is the last LIV event ever?

It's pretty shocking LIV actually lasted this long considering the business model never came close to working and they were just burning through cash the entire time.

I still think it’s more likely than not that LIV survives in some zombie version for at least a year or two.

But LIV in general, specifically o‘Neil and Bryson, have outright lied or at least been misleading ad nauseam over the last several months. Every time a negative news story breaks they come out with a rebuttal or some piece of positive news that turns out to either be false or at least not really a fully accurate description. Not sure why we should believe them on this point.

I don't understand the appeal in LIV surviving for anyone. Even if Bryson and some group of geriatrics/nobodies continue with some type of youtube tour, the LIV brand is so toxic that they'd be better off rebranding and starting new

What a lovely hit piece from Joel

Because Sunday marked the end of LIV Golf as the sport had known it.

An entity bearing the name may continue, with a schedule and teams and maybe a familiar face or two.

I guess that’s kind of a win for pride, right?

I mean the LIV powers that be handled it all horribly and it went exactly how most predicted.. It crashed and burned all on it's own due to over promising and underdelivering.. Throwing gobs of money at no names, stars a bit long in the tooth and the bottom feeders wasn't the greatest business strategy to build a lasting tour.. And calling it a hit piece could be contrived considering you're one of the most biased here when it comes to this absolute fiasco of a golf tour..

That article is the epitome of “golf media’s” infatuation with hating on LIV. Oh well, I guess LIV Golf is finally done for and we will never hear them talk about it again

What’s he deciding on? LIV 2.0 or YouTube scrambles?

I never like reading about people losing jobs.

I just hope the majority of those people laid off were smart enough to see the writing on the wall and will land on their feet.

Pirate King might be the only person still holding out hope for this league.

The move was not unexpected after the upstart tour filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notice last month—a legal requirement to notify workers of potential layoffs.

When asked if anything should be read into his song choice in Indianapolis, Hatton bluntly replied: “No.”

Despite the rampant uncertainty, Hatton still anticipates LIV to be operational in 2027.

“I would expect there to be LIV next season,” he said. “I know they’ve worked really hard to get the funding and stuff in place, so I know it’s full steam ahead on that front.”
