LIV Golf's hopes of rebooting as "LIV Golf 2.0" in 2027 have taken a severe hit after private equity firm BC Partners reportedly withdrew a planned $300 million investment, according to Yahoo Sports.

The funding was seen as a key piece of the league's plan to restructure and continue operating beyond its current backing. With that investment now off the table, Yahoo Sports reports the Saudi-backed league is reportedly facing the possibility of liquidation.

The setback raises fresh questions about the long-term viability of LIV Golf, which has spent years trying to establish itself as a rival to the PGA Tour. No details on alternative funding plans have been reported.
