Martin Kaymer, the German golfer and former world number one, has cast doubt on the future of LIV Golf. In a recent interview, Kaymer said it is "highly unlikely" that the circuit's 2026 team championship will take place. He expressed uncertainty about the long-term prospects of the Saudi-backed league.
LIV Golf has faced scrutiny since its launch in 2022, with questions about its financial sustainability and player commitments. Kaymer's comments add to the speculation, as he suggested that even the CEO is unsure about what lies ahead. "Even the CEO doesn't know," Kaymer said, referring to the league's future plans.
The 2025 season is still underway, but Kaymer's remarks highlight ongoing doubts about LIV Golf's stability beyond the current contract cycle. The league has struggled to secure a broadcast deal and has seen some players return to traditional tours.
Kaymer, who has been a prominent figure in LIV Golf, did not provide specific details about the reasons behind his pessimism. However, his candid assessment reflects broader uncertainty within the golf community about the circuit's direction.
"I think we all need to be realistic about the situation," Kaymer added. "It's not easy to predict what will happen next."
LIV Golf officials have not yet responded to Kaymer's comments.
