2 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will LIV Golf announce shutdown in 2026? — the market puts it at 97%, with $41 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 2 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if LIV Golf publicly announces in 2026 that it permanently ends its league operations or ceases to exist as a standalone professional golf league. The outcome is No if the company continues operating, even if it changes ownership, reduces its schedule, or merges while keeping its brand.
  • Bryson DeChambeau — the market puts it at 2%, closing 8 Apr 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Bryson DeChambeau plays in a LIV Golf tournament between January 1 and March 31, 2027. It resolves to No if he does not compete during that specific quarter. Readers often mistake the announcement of an investment deal for actual participation in a tournament.
