With a “bombshell announcement” reportedly coming about LIV Golf<\/a>, Golf Channel analyst and former PGA Tour pro Brandel Chamblee believes the rival tour is coming to an end.<\/p>\n

Golf<\/a> reporter Ryan French said during an X Spaces broadcast that he has “some pretty good sources” that told him “LIV is shutting down,” according to the FlushingItGolf account that was listening.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve got everything from, and these are people that I trust, that you guys know,” French said, per the account. “Players didn\u2019t get paid today, power went out because the bill wasn\u2019t paid, employees didn\u2019t get paid. Stuff like that.”<\/p>\n

Telegraph Sport<\/a> reported Wednesday that LIV Golf executives have been called into an emergency meeting in New York amid speculation about the league’s future.<\/p>\n

Chamblee, who has been one of LIV Golf\u2019s biggest critics since its inception, backed French\u2019s report, believing the tour will crumble.<\/p>\n

BROOKS KOEPKA SHOULD FACE PENALTY IF HE REJOINS PGA TOUR, GOLF PUNDIT SAYS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Given that the product was so ill-conceived and ended up being worse than anyone could have imagined \u2013 with shotgun starts, initially 54 holes, a team concept that was nothing but laughable and tournaments that meant and continue to mean nothing, and such a paltry number of viewers, losing billions along the way \u2013 would it surprise anyone if the Saudis came to their corrupted senses and finally euthanized the whole lame-brained tour,” Chamblee wrote on X in response to the reports.<\/p>\n

The days of a potential merger between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour<\/a> seem to be a pipe dream now, especially as LIV stars like Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed came back to their old roots.<\/p>\n

In fact, Koepka is a part of a new Returning Member Program, which allows LIV golfers who won a major or Players Championship since 2022, to return to the PGA Tour under specific conditions and financial penalties.<\/p>\n

And while they haven\u2019t done so, Bryson DeChambeau<\/a>, Jon Rahm and Cam Smith are all eligible for Koepka\u2019s program. Reed isn\u2019t in the program, though he is working through a suspension period, where he plans on returning to the Tour as a non-member in August 2026 before hopefully regaining full status in 2027.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, LIV Golf is set to tee off at its Mexico event<\/a> this week, and they still have nine events scheduled for the rest of the 2026 schedule.<\/p>\n

But, as French said on X Spaces, “Things are not good.”<\/p>\n
