Canadian tech company sues LIV Golf over unpaid fees, lost earnings

Mobii Systems Group, the Canada-based technology company, has sued the beleaguered LIV Golf series for over $1 million for outstanding unpaid invoices and lost revenue, it has been reported.

The firm, which supplied LIV’s "Any Shot, Any Time" features during its television broadcasts, filed the lawsuit in the US District Court in Miami on Friday.

According to ESPN, the lawsuit alleges that LIV Golf failed to pay its licensing fee of $820,600.00 and $104,500 in usage fees this season.

Mobii Systems is seeking additional damages of $209,531 in lost revenue for the remaining six events in 2026 after it says LIV Golf breached its two-year contract, which was set to expire December 31.

In the lawsuit, Mobii reveals that it was paid its agreed-upon rights and licensing fees for last year.

The company’s lawyers served LIV Golf with a notice of demand for payment on May 8, according to the complaint. The league had until May 15 to pay the outstanding invoices.

In late May, Nick Connor, LIV Golf's senior vice president of technology, informed Mobii that the league wouldn't continue using its technology for the remainder of the 2026 season as it evaluated its “business model, our partnerships, and our cost structure.”

In an email, he wrote: “We recognize that delays in payment have caused strain in our relationship, and we understand this is a frustrating time.

“While we understand your frustration, our view is that litigating outstanding invoices will not be a productive use of either of our time and resources.

“Please know that this decision is not reflective of the quality of work or services provided, and we are truly grateful for your partnership over the last several years.”

After receiving the email, Mobii served LIV Golf with a notice of termination of agreement on the same day.

The lawsuit stated: “Because LIV Golf repudiated the agreement and terminated Mobii's ability to perform under the agreement, Mobii will not receive the revenue it was contractually entitled to receive from the remaining six events in LIV Golf's schedule, all of which will take place during the agreement's term.”

The termination came soon after LIV’s primary backer, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia, pulled its support of the tour.

In early May, LIV hired international investment bank Ducera Capital to help lead a new investment charge as it seeks to extend its position in the sports industry beyond 2026.

LIV set up a new board in the wake of the announcement as part of restructuring efforts.

PIF governor Yasir al-Rumayyan had been the main backer of LIV Golf, with him and PIF having invested approximately $5 billion in the series, which held its first events in 2022.

LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil is attempting to raise $300 million to keep the venture going beyond this season.

The league’s next event is scheduled to begin on Thursday at its United Kingdom tournament in Rocester.

The 2026 campaign will conclude with three events in the US – New York (August 6-9), Indianapolis (August 20-23), Michigan (August 27-30).

The Mobii lawsuit is the second filed against LIV in July. Earlier this month, two English companies opened legal proceedings against the series claiming that it stole their ideas in the buildup to starting the circuit and are suing for damages.

Lawyers for World Golf Group and Premier Golf League are seeking damages of between $210 million and $630 million from LIV Golf, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) and other individuals and entities, accusing them of breach of confidence and unlawful means conspiracy.
