> LIV Golf has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New Jersey, saying it plans to restructure with a $49.6m loan from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. The league is estimated to owe $500m to $1bn to at least 1,000 creditors, but says the filing is intended to support its continued operation rather than dissolve it.
