The Story in 60 Seconds

LIV Golf formalized a restructuring support agreement with private equity firm BC Partners, moving its player commitment deadline to October 25 and altering the threshold required to approve the deal. Under the amended filing, BC Partners will determine whether enough players have committed to ensure the league's continuation, replacing the prior fixed benchmarks. The private equity firm is targeting up to $300 million in cumulative financing to launch a scaled-down "LIV 2.0" in 2027.

The restructured plan offers committed players a 52.5 percent equity stake in the new league format. However, prominent golfers including Sergio Garcia and Joaquin Niemann are currently weighing their options regarding whether to remain with LIV Golf. The proposed restructuring agreement awaits approval at a bankruptcy court hearing scheduled for October 14.
