LIV Golf to wind down after backers withdraw support

Original: LIV Golf: Breakaway league to wind down after potential financial backers withdraw support

LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed breakaway golf league that challenged the PGA Tour, is set to be wound down after potential financial backers withdrew their support, according to the BBC. The league had signed numerous top players with large contracts, but its long-term funding now appears to have collapsed, putting its future events and player rosters in doubt.

Why now: The breakaway league's reported collapse is a major development in the bitter split within professional golf.
