LIV Golf players are free to leave after the organisation filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States.
The development comes as LIV Golf says it intends to launch a new league early next year. The filing places the organisation under bankruptcy protection in the US, although no further details of the process were provided in the supplied material.
The key immediate consequence identified is that players attached to LIV Golf are no longer bound to remain and may depart following the filing.
LIV Golf’s stated plan remains to begin its new league early next year. No additional information was supplied on the structure of the proposed competition, the players involved, or any further legal or financial steps expected as part of the bankruptcy protection process.
