LIV Golf sued by CEO over $1.2M unpaid invoices

Summary

Jared Kleinstein, CEO of Fresh Tape Media, has filed a lawsuit against LIV Golf for over $1.2 million in unpaid invoices related to their 2026 preseason media days. Kleinstein stated that LIV offered a settlement of $200,000, later reducing it to $150,000, well below the owed amount. He claims that LIV's finance team repeatedly communicated a sense of inability to resolve the debt. The lawsuit, filed on July 21, follows similar action from Mobii Systems Group Limited, which is seeking up to $1.1 million from LIV over unpaid bills. LIV CEO Scott O’Neil has expressed intentions to fulfill vendor obligations, but the ongoing negotiations highlight potential financial challenges within the league.
