Just two weeks after the uncertain future of LIV Golf dominated the news cycle, one of LIV’s upcoming events may not go on as planned.
WDSU reported Monday that LIV Golf’s tournament at Bayou Oaks at City Park scheduled for June 25-28 in New Orleans will likely not take place. Sources told the news station the state of Louisiana plans to postpone the event until LIV can restructure financially and find additional sources of funding.
Sources with knowledge of LIV Golf operations said the league has been working with the Governor’s office and Louisiana Economic Development to consider new timing opportunities in September or October, although financial issues were not mentioned. The source said the event has been postponed to avoid peak summer heat in Louisiana, ensure the course is in championship-caliber condition and avoid any attendance conflicts with the World Cup; it’s unclear why those factors weren’t considered when the event was originally scheduled.
A statement is expected to be issued on Tuesday.
