Tranlate this title Super League LIV, last dance in Indianapolis? in spanish

Whether or not it’s the last dance, a sense of finality will hang in the air when the starting gun fires this afternoon for Super League LIV in Indianapolis, the final event of what may be its last season, given the official cancellation of the Michigan stop, which was to host the team finals from the 27th to the 30th of this month.

It’s a tournament devoid of sporting interest, as there’s nothing left to decide. The circuit’s annual champion was crowned a few days ago in Bedminster, where Rahm secured his third ring in as many seasons with a team from which, according to various reports published in recent hours, he could leave as early as next week, when the deadline set by management, led by Scott O’Neil, to find someone to provide the nearly $300 million needed to continue operating expires.

Liv Golf, situation

So far, it has been revealed that CB Capital Partners, an investment fund linked to Bryson DeChambeau, along with Rahm, the main attraction of this project, is willing to contribute €250 million. This sum would provide a much-needed boost but wouldn’t completely fill the gap left by the withdrawal of Saudi capital.

If the objective is achieved, the format will bear virtually no resemblance to the one that revolutionized the professional golf scene five years ago. Prize money will plummet, perhaps to less than half of the 30 million currently up for grabs each week. The number of tournaments will be reduced from 14 to 10, and some will be played only as teams. Previously, fundamental concepts of the project, such as the 54-hole format instead of 72, were already under scrutiny.

And if a sufficient sum isn’t reached to keep the party going, bankruptcy will be the order of the day—a mechanism that would allow the owners to restructure their debts to suppliers and the massive contracts that lured players like Rahmbo (who, according to some reports, hasn’t received more than half of his money yet) and DeChambeau, who still hasn’t been paid in full. Given these circumstances, it’s hard to imagine them playing next year in a competition stripped of its main attraction: the prize money. This is precisely what has ultimately led to its demise.
