LIV Golf's 2026 season continues this week with their stop in the United Kingdom, the final international stop before the final three events are scheduled for August in the United States. Scheduled is the key word, because with LIV Golf's financial uncertainty after losing funding from Saudi Arabia's PIF, there are no guarantees all three events take place as planned.
On Wednesday, Cleeks captain Martin Kaymer informed Ben Parsons of Today's Golfer that based on limited information they received in a captains meeting it was "highly likely" the season finale in Michigan would get canceled, giving it a "five percent chance' of happening.
"I know that Indianapolis most likely is happening," Kaymer added. "There was a conversation yesterday. Michigan, highly unlikely. So basically, what we already knew. That's why I think it became a captains' meeting and not a players' meeting, because they couldn't give us much more than we had before."
Kaymer and the players seem to be just as much in the dark as everyone else regarding LIV Golf's funding and plans for the future. Kaymer pointed to speculation they could turn the Indianapolis event into the team championship, but was concerned about losing a second individual event after already having the New Orleans event canceled earlier this season.
"Of course, we are disappointed," says Kaymer. "I heard yesterday, actually, on the Golf Channel that there were talks that Indianapolis could become a team event instead of Michigan. That we don't know. I think that would be a shame that we get reduced even more individual tournaments. On the other hand, how do you want to have a team winning the whole season if you don't have a team event? We need to be honest. The whole season was a bit of a… there was so much happening. Yeah. Cancelled New Orleans. Cancelled most likely the last event. So I think it's important to just finish the season and hopefully we'll have a plan for 2027."
That last part about 2027 is the biggest question of them all. After losing the Asian Tour partnership, LIV Golf's 2027 plans are extremely unclear. Jon Rahm was asked on Tuesday whether he believed he'd be playing on the tour in 2027 and literally shrugged, explaining he can't share anything that he doesn't know.
For now, it seems like there will be three more events, not four, on the 2026 LIV Golf calendar including this week in the UK. The 2027 schedule and structure is anyone's guess, as CEO Scott O'Neill tries desperately to salvage the league's finances after losing it's chief backing.
