LIV Golf cancels New Orleans event

The inaugural June event is likely to be postponed until the autumn, according to local reports.

This move follows rumors of a significant reduction in funding from the league's primary backers.

The cancellation creates a major gap in the LIV schedule, with no U.S. tournaments expected between mid-May and August.

The league is facing increased scrutiny over its long-term sustainability and its ability to compete with the PGA Tour.
