Two of LIV Golf's suppliers are in a New York courtroom over unpaid bills, and the numbers in the filings are a long way apart. Fresh Tape Media is seeking more than $1.23 million across eight invoices. LIV's answer, according to the filings, was $200,000.
What are the vendors claiming?
Fresh Tape entered its complaint in New York State Supreme Court on 21 July 2026. It is not a new supplier: the company produced LIV's 2025 preseason event and was paid in full, and the complaint states LIV never formally disputed the quality of the 2026 work. Mobii Systems Group Limited, the technology company behind LIV's broadcast features, filed its own action in July over more than $1.1 million in fees.
| Vendor | Claim | Work supplied | Filed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh Tape Media | $1.23M+ across 8 invoices | Production | 21 July 2026 |
| Mobii Systems Group | $1.10M+ | Broadcast technology | July 2026 |
What has LIV Golf said?
Chief executive Scott O'Neil was asked about the litigation at The Club at Chatham Hills in Westfield, Indiana on 19 August 2026, ahead of the season finale. He said he comes from a family of small business owners and understands the position the vendors are in.
LIV is doing everything it can to do right by the vendors.
He gave no timetable and no commitment on when the balances would be cleared. The offers on the record moved the other way: $200,000 in May, then $150,000 in later correspondence, roughly 12 cents on the dollar.
Why it matters for the finale
The filings surfaced in the same stretch that LIV cancelled its Michigan event and compressed the season into one finale in Indianapolis, 20 to 23 August, with a reduced purse. A league disputing workmanship argues about quality. A league cutting its offer from 16 cents to 12 is managing cash.
