LIV Golf Accuses DP World Tour of Interfering in Bankruptcy Case

LIV Golf has accused the DP World Tour of interfering with its bankruptcy proceedings, adding a new layer to the long-running feud between the two circuits.

The accusation came at a hearing where Bryson DeChambeau and several other players were released from their contracts. Losing players in the middle of a bankruptcy process puts the league's remaining assets and obligations under closer scrutiny, and it raises the stakes for anyone with a claim against the business.

The rivalry dates back to LIV's launch in 2022, when the Saudi-backed league began signing established players from the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour. The two sides have since fought over player eligibility, sanctions and access to the sport's top talent, and the bitterness has rarely been far from the surface.

DeChambeau, a two-time major champion and one of the most recognizable names in golf, has been among the most prominent LIV players since he made the move. His release is likely to draw attention from fans and sponsors, and it could affect how the league presents itself as the proceedings continue.

LIV has not yet published a full account of its claims, and the DP World Tour has not been quoted in the material available so far. Further court filings and statements from both sides are likely to clarify what the hearing decided and how far the accusation goes.
