LIV Golf players are reportedly presenting leads to the organisations board in a bid to keep the league going after this season.
The struggles of LIV Golf have been well documented. And so have the extensive resources offered up to lure the best golfers to the breakaway league.
Now the players are trying to put everything on the line.
As the LIV Golf board go searching for investment, the players are leading them in the right direction according to latest reports.
Axios reported this week that LIV will seek up to $250 million from new investors, while Bloomberg has claimed that the league has “begun laying groundwork for potential bankruptcy”, but the league says it is “firmly focused on securing a transaction that positions the organization for the long term.”
“TG has learned from various well-placed sources that some LIV players are going out of their way to help support the fight to salvage its future.
Multiple players, including one of the league’s most recent signings, have gone to the new LIV board with direct leads over potential backers with whom they share strong relations. There is still strong belief within LIV that private equity, or indeed a golf-obsessed billionaire attracted by the rare prospect of owning a sports league, could dig the league out of its substantial hole.”
