LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed professional golf league, has undergone a rapid evolution since its inception, marked by high-profile signings, leadership changes, and tournaments at prominent venues.
The league's early events included the LIV Golf Invitational in Chicago on September 18, 2022, where CEO Greg Norman appeared alongside Yasir Al-Rumayyan, governor of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. Phil Mickelson competed in the Bedminster Invitational later that July.
By October 2023, the LIV Golf Team Championship was held at Trump National Doral in Miami. In May 2026, CEO Scott O'Neil oversaw the Maaden LIV Golf Virginia tournament at Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.
The league's trajectory from conception to reported bankruptcy reflects the volatile landscape of professional golf's recent upheaval.
