LIV Golf League sources have shared details on the 2027 schedule for its players with 54 Golf ⬇️ “We will have the 10 events, then an additional 7 other starts for our players. They (the 7 others) won’t be mandatory though. Optional for guys who want the starts. The players are coming back. We will have quite a rush to get up and going.” More specifics coming soon.

Bryson DeChambeau partnered up with Anthony, JD, and Davey, three Amish golfers to attempt the most difficult YouTube challenge ever…Break 50. Let’s just say their final score may never, ever be beat. The content king lives 👑 And stick around for the @bobdoessports callout 👀

LIV Golf League sources to 54 Golf ⬇️ “Are we the only golfers ever to be targeted and discriminated against by the European Tour? I would be more concerned about the PGA Tour not paying their (DPWT) bills after 2027. ” Expanding: Euro Tour 2025 $70+M USD in losses with a $40M check from Ryder Cup. 2026 is probably twice those losses or more. 2027 should not be as bad with another Ryder Cup check. BUT…What about 2028 if they go back to $80+M losses? What happens? Do they reduce prize money? Eliminate events? And on the Asian Tour since their new “support agreement” • no Q School • Saudi event canceled • lost title sponsor of Philippines event “Messy, messy, messy. They can keep pointing the finger at us, but there are three pointing right back at them.”

Bryson leading The LIV players group from the front, giving them a powerful seat at the table with investors and the league. Not quite a union, but with his marquee status now attached to the roster wholly, they can all benefit.
NEW AT LIV: 1) Michael La Sasso resigns from unsecured creditors committee and is working with Bryson's lawyers at Weil (Weil group has accumulated several players) 2) Jon Rahm settlement to be filed to the docket by tomorrow which includes his IP/ NIL reverting back to him

Not getting a sense that The LIV is overly concerned with this DPWT decision. This could sway a few players who may have been undecided, but for others in the nearly decided/likely staying group, this is mostly meaningless. Departures were always coming. Success was always going be about the ones who remained.

A source close to LIV Golf confirms the league has a schedule for 2027 with the target of late October for release. Lots of moving parts and pieces with the players still, but the confirmation of event locations and dates is a great signal the LIV will hit the ground running post bankruptcy court.
LATEST IN LIV: - Bryson’s lawyers at Weil trying to rally a players-only committee to negotiate with BC/ LIV / PIF - BC within days re-hiring some LIV staff and has prelim 2027 schedule - Vendor unsecured creditor liability expected to top $100mn ft.com/content/d31ea247-c2c1…

No need to tell you Matt runs laps around the establishment media, but pay attention, these are no throwaway lines: ”Professional golfers are independent contractors. They should be free to play wherever they choose.” This is the necessary truth behind every moving part in the sport today.

Ted Goldthorpe, Partner and Head of BC Partners Credit: Per Sportico at Invest London event: Goldthorpe said the group will introduce additional co-investors who will be able to support the league as well, with plans to achieve what he described as financial sustainability “very, very quickly” without significant additional cash required. “People’s initial reaction is … ‘What are you thinking?’” Goldthorpe said. “You wouldn’t believe the number of people who’ve reached out to us to invest.” Time will tell

Scott O'Neil looks back on the first chapter of @livgolf_league and what changed - shifting from a Saudi business plan to a "business business plan" on the heels of the BC Partners Credit investment Monday.
