Martin Kaymer says it is "highly unlikely" LIV Golf's 2026 team championship will take place as he expresses doubt over the circuit's future.

Two-time major champion Martin Kaymer has said it is "highly unlikely" LIV Golf's team championship will take place this year and admitted the players do not know if the circuit will exist in 2027. LIV is reeling from the withdrawal of Saudi Arabian financial backing from the end of this season after the Kingdom ploughed in more than £3.75bn to bankroll its first three years. Scott O'Neil, who became became LIV Golf chief executive in January 2025, is trying to generate $350m (£262m) of investment to keep the tour going. The next LIV event starts at the JCB Club in Staffordshire on Thursday before tournaments in New York and Indianapolis prior to a scheduled team championship in Michigan. "I know that Indianapolis is most likely happening," said Kaymer, who is captain of the Cleeks team. "There was a conversation on Wednesday: Michigan, highly unlikely. According to Wednesday, it didn't look good. "We were hoping for a bit more information [from the meeting]. We got the information but we were more looking for decisions or what is happening next year. "Unfortunately, even Scott can't tell us because he doesn't know. It depends so much on the investors."
