Müsabaka gündeminden önemli bir haber: LIV could reschedule June's New Orleans event Image source, Getty Images Image caption, The LIV Golf Invitational Series event started in June 2022 By Dan Roan Sports editor Published 16 minutes ago LIV Golf could postpone its event in New Orleans in June amid continued questions over its future. Sport has been told that the Saudi Arabia-backed series has been in talks with local authorities in Louisiana about rescheduling the tournament to September or October. According to sources, officials are keen to avoid peak summer heat and ensure the Bayou Oaks course at City Park is in top championship condition.
LIV bosses are also said to want to avoid a clash with the World Cup. It would mean LIV Golf would not have any tournaments in the USA for a three-month period from 10 May until 6 August when it goes to Trump Bedminster in New Jersey. However, amid reports that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is set to end its support for the breakaway tour, this will only intensify speculation.

Earlier this month, LIV Golf chief executive Scott O'Neil told players the 2026 season would continue "as planned and uninterrupted" amid rumours the tour was on the verge of collapse. The state of Louisiana had reportedly spent $7m (£5. 1m) on the event, with $2m (£1.
5m) towards upgrading the public Bayou Oaks course, and the remaining $5m (£3. 7m) will go to LIV Golf as a hosting fee. LIV Golf, the governor of Louisiana and Louisiana Economic Development are expected to issue a joint statement on Tuesday.

It was striking O'Neil only spoke about 2026 and did not address what might lie ahead. Players were told last month that funding was in place until 2032 but well-placed figures in European golf told Sport they believe PIF is withdrawing its financial support. One source said he fully expected 2026 to be LIV's last season and another felt its leadership was trying to convince itself other revenue could be found.
But many - as one summarised - think it may fall apart quickly. The LIV project, which pivoted to a more traditional 72-hole format this year, has been bankrolled by an eye-watering amount of money from PIF. The overall investment surpassed $5bn (£3.
8bn) when fresh capital of $266. 7m was injected earlier this year , external . The tour's net losses in markets outside the US increased to $462m (£340m) in 2024, meaning it had lost more than $1.
