LIV Golf Sued for $1.13 Million by Former Streaming Partner

The claim intensifies legal pressure on the league as it seeks roughly $300 million to continue past 2026.

Overview

  • The lawsuit, filed June 17, says Mobii Systems is seeking about $1.13 million for unpaid licensing and usage fees plus lost revenue after LIV cut the company's service.
  • Court papers allege LIV failed to pay an $820,600 licensing fee and a $104,500 usage fee for 2026 and that the league owes another $209,531 for six events it stopped using Mobii’s 'Any Shot, Any Time' feature.
  • The case follows Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund telling LIV on April 30 that it would stop funding the league after more than $5 billion in support, a move that prompted service cuts and vendor-payment disputes.
  • LIV has already discontinued the premium ASAT streaming product, issued refunds, trimmed its 2026 calendar and returned to play this week with a U.K. event scheduled to start Thursday, July 23, while liquidity questions persist.
  • CEO Scott O’Neil is pitching a leaner 'LIV 2.0' and seeking about $300 million to keep the enterprise running, but the league faces layered legal exposure including a separate WGG/PGL claim that seeks up to roughly $630 million and could affect its future and vendors and players.
