LIV Golf files for bankruptcy protection in the US

LIV Golf, the professional men's golf league, has filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States. The organization has begun a legal procedure designed to protect it from creditor demands while financial matters are handled under a legal framework.

With this filing, LIV Golf has entered the US legal process established for that purpose. How long the procedure may take or what it could mean for the league's activities is not clear from the information currently available.

So far, only the filing itself has been confirmed. The source contains no additional details about the league's reasons for the move, its financial condition or the likely next steps in the bankruptcy process.
