BC Partners Credit, the intended financier for a new LIV 2.0 version, pulled out of a $300 million deal, causing the league to abandon its continuation plan and announce a wind‑down, while the DP World Tour is preparing to welcome former LIV players, including Bryson DeChambeau, who is currently ineligible for the PGA Tour.
