LIV Golf’s challenges are no longer confined to the golf course.
The Saudi-backed league has been sued by Canadian technology company Mobii Systems Group, which alleges LIV Golf failed to pay more than $925,000 in licensing and usage fees for its “Any Shot, Any Time” broadcast technology. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Miami, also seeks more than $209,000 in lost revenue after Mobii claims LIV prematurely ended a two-year agreement before the final six events of the 2026 season.
According to the complaint, LIV owed Mobii a licensing fee of $820,600 and an additional $104,500 in usage fees. The company says it repeatedly sought payment before LIV informed it in late May that it would discontinue using the technology while evaluating its “business model, partnerships and cost structure.” Mobii then terminated the agreement and filed suit.
The technology powered one of LIV’s signature broadcast features, allowing viewers to watch shots from across the golf course in real time. It became a defining element of the league’s television presentation, making the dispute more significant than a routine contract disagreement.
The lawsuit arrives at an especially difficult time for LIV Golf. Earlier this month, the league and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund were hit with another lawsuit from World Golf Group and Premier Golf League, which allege LIV improperly used confidential information and copied the concept for a global team golf circuit. That separate case seeks between $210 million and $630 million in damages.
Financial questions have also intensified around the circuit. Reports earlier this year indicated Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund plans to stop funding LIV beyond the 2026 season after investing billions of dollars since the league’s launch, leaving CEO Scott O’Neil searching for new capital to sustain operations.
None of these lawsuits determine liability, and the allegations remain unproven in court. Still, the growing list of legal disputes has added to the uncertainty surrounding LIV Golf’s future. What began as a disruptive alternative to the PGA Tour is now dealing with mounting legal and financial questions at a pivotal point in the league’s existence.
