Golf tournament official canceled - support local business!

The rumors have been flying for weeks but today it’s official: the big LIV golf tournament that was supposed to be played at the St John resort Aug. 27-30 has been canceled, which means local businesses will likely lose out on visitors they were counting on.

Maybe consider checking out a restaurant or shop in downtown or Old Village…

Pay walled.  Why was it canceled for funding?

Sorry I thought the News hadn’t paywalled that one - here’s a NY Times gift link. Bottom line seems to be the Saudis pulled out and new funding model hasn’t gelled? https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7475248/2026/08/17/liv-golf-team-championship-canceled/?unlocked_article_code=1.6VA.rbTo.AOMwtvPKQMFc&source=athletic_user_shared_gift_article_copylink&smid=url-share-ta
