The warning signs are piling up for LIV Golf—but is the league really finished, or is there still a path forward?

In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down the latest trouble surrounding LIV Golf, including a new $1 million lawsuit alleging unpaid licensing and usage fees, Jon Rahm’s noncommittal response when asked whether he expects to play for LIV in 2027, and the growing questions about the league’s long-term future.

With LIV returning after a nearly two-month hiatus, we discuss whether these developments could represent the final nail in the coffin—or whether the league can still secure the investment and sponsorship needed to survive.

We also examine LIV Golf’s lasting impact on professional golf, from larger PGA Tour purses and greater player influence to schedule changes, international expansion, and the continued debate over team golf. Then we play “Win or Lose” to determine how LIV’s disruption has affected LIV players, PGA Tour stars, the PGA Tour itself, golf fans, major championships, and tournament sponsors.

Plus, we revisit Bryson DeChambeau’s controversial two-stroke penalty at The Open, his public response to the ruling, and whether the incident risks undoing the image transformation he has built through recent success and his popular YouTube channel. Was the penalty justified, did Bryson handle it poorly, and will LIV Golf still exist in 2027? We debate it all.
