LIV Golf is facing a lawsuit filed by Fresh Tape Media, the company responsible for producing and managing the league’s preseason media days event in January 2026. Fresh Tape claims LIV Golf has failed to pay over $1.23 million for its services, including interest on unpaid invoices. The complaint was submitted to the Supreme Court of New York on July 21, 2026, with LIV formally notified of the suit only on August 17, coinciding with the league’s announcement that it had canceled its $40 million team championship scheduled for Michigan.

Fresh Tape managed LIV Golf Week 2026 in West Palm Beach, where more than 50 players from all 13 league teams attended. The company provided extensive production work, capturing over 50,000 images and videos that continued to be used by LIV across media platforms. Despite positive feedback and half of the contract amount being paid upfront, Fresh Tape alleges that LIV did not pay eight invoices totaling between approximately $74,000 and $231,000 each. LIV reportedly acknowledged the payments but offered substantially reduced settlement amounts of $200,000 and later $150,000, which Fresh Tape rejected.

This lawsuit adds to LIV Golf’s growing financial troubles as other vendors and contractors have also publicly declared unpaid balances. Last month, Mobii Systems Group Limited, a former technology partner, sued LIV for breach of contract and unpaid invoices exceeding $1.1 million. The league’s primary funding source, the Saudi Public Investment Fund, announced it would cease financing LIV at the end of the 2026 season. LIV is currently in negotiations with BC Partners Credit for new funding, but no deal has been reached.

Fresh Tape has sought an emergency court order to freeze some of LIV’s assets amid concerns that the league might dissipate funds. Subpoenas have been served to banks in New York linked to LIV, and the company’s legal team has yet to respond to the court order as of the latest update. The unfolding litigation reflects ongoing financial instability for LIV Golf as it tries to navigate a precarious business future following funding cuts and operational setbacks.
