LIV Golf may postpone its Louisiana event scheduled for June due to concerns the soccer World Cup could impact attendances and viewership, while issues such as high temperatures and course condition are also factors.
The Saudi-funded circuit has been working in coordination with Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry's office and economic officials to find a new date for the tournament in either September or October, the sources with knowledge of LIV Golf operations said.
The tournament is currently scheduled for 25-28 June at Bayou Oaks at City Park. The World Cup takes place in the US, Canada and Mexico from 11 June to 19 July.
LIV Golf, Landry and the Louisiana Economic Development are expected to issue a statement on the matter on Tuesday, according to the sources.
The sources' comments come less than two weeks afterLIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil said the breakaway circuit's 2026 season would proceed as planned amid reports that the series is at risk of losing its funding.
The Louisiana event is the only LIV tournament on the schedule during the World Cup.
