LIV Golf's Louisiana event is officially postponed. There is currently no LIV event scheduled between June 7th and July 23rd. Governor Jeff Landry and Economic Development Secretary Bourgeois have released a joint statement about the event being postponed and potentially played in the fall. "First, we want to thank Zurich and PGA TOUR leadership for another outstanding tournament this past weekend. We are proud of the continued partnership and the opportunities this event brings to our state each year." Secretary Bourgeois spoke with LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil on Friday and was informed that the organization seeks to postpone its June 2026 event in New Orleans to explore a potential event this fall. The state has already paid $3.2 million in accordance with the contract. LIV is expected to return all state incentive funds, with the exception of the $2 million already invested in upgrades for City Park, ensuring those improvements remain in place for the community." "We appreciate LIV's good-faith efforts and look forward to maintaining our partnership as we continue conversations around an event later this year." "We are grateful for the work of our local partners and the collaboration that supported this effort. Louisiana continues to move forward with strong momentum, and we remain focused on opportunities that deliver value for our communities."
