Just a few years ago, LIV Golf was positioned as the future of professional golf. Massive signing bonuses, guaranteed contracts, team formats, celebrity-style presentation, and billions in backing from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund created the impression that LIV was not simply competing with the traditional golf establishment, it was going to replace it.
