"LIV Golf is looking to move the New Orleans event to the autumn to avoid peak summer temperatures, ensure the course is in championship shape and to avoid attendance and viewership conflicts with the World Cup."
"The swap would mean that LIV Golf would not have any tournaments in the United States for a three-month period from northern Virginia on 7-10 May at Trump National until the 6-9 August event at Trump Bedminster in New Jersey."
"Louisiana officials stated last August when the tournament was announced they had agreed to pay LIV Golf $5m and spend an additional $2.2m on improvements to the Bayou Oaks course in City Park."
LIV Golf's inaugural tournament in New Orleans, originally scheduled for late June, is expected to be postponed until autumn. This change aims to avoid peak summer temperatures and potential conflicts with the World Cup. The tournament's delay means no U.S. events for three months, with the next scheduled for August. LIV Golf has already invested over $5 billion since its inception in 2022. Louisiana officials had previously committed $5 million to the event, with $1 million to be repaid due to the postponement.
