LIV Golf files for bankruptcy protection

(AP) — LIV Golf filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Tuesday in New Jersey with more than $500 million in debt, part of its goal to revive the league without Saudi funding.

Stop the Democrats’ scheme to pack the Supreme Court (syndicated column for 9/9)
