Lifeline for LIV Golf with potential $300m investment

BC Partners Credit hopes to put LIV Golf on sound financial footing and take renewed momentum into next year; LIV CEO says: This marks meaningful progress toward a player-owned, team-focused, truly global league; Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau among players owed millions of pounds

LIV Golf has secured a potential $300m windfall from BC Partners Credit as it looks to continue into 2027.

The league lost its multi-billion-dollar funding from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) following the end of the 2026 campaign and filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States.

LIV hopes a court-supervised "restructuring process" can be completed early next year.

Current participants, who are owed millions of pounds, reportedly have no obligation to sign on for LIV 2.0 should it materialise.

Ted Goldthorpe, partner and head of BC Partners Credit, said in a statement: "Our goal is to facilitate LIV Golf's emergence from the restructuring process on sound financial footing and with renewed momentum heading into the 2027 season."

BC Partners Credit will support the next stage of LIV, under which players would become equity owners of the league and its teams.
