​As LIV Golf’s rocky 2026 season concludes this week, one of the league’s still-unresolved financial disputes dates back to before the season even began.Fresh Tape Media, the company that produced and operated the league’s preseason media days event in January, is suing LIV for more than $1.23 million in missed payments and interest, according to a complaint filed in New York State Supreme Court on July 21. Due to the nature of the lawsuit, LIV was only formally notified of the complaint on Monday—the same day it officially announced the cancellation of its $40 million team championship that was scheduled for next week in Michigan.It’s the latest company to go public with claims of missed payments from LIV, as various vendors and contractors have told Front Office Sports they are also owed money by the league. Mobii Systems Group Limited, a former technology partner of LIV, also sued the league last month for more than $1.1 million for breach of contract, unpaid invoices, and interest.The Saudi PIF announced in April that it would end its funding of LIV at the end of this season.

Fresh Tape says it transferred over 50,000 images and videos to LIV, some of which appear to still be used today across the league’s social, TV, and digital platforms.Denver-based Fresh Tape has roughly 20 employees, but employed 115 total workers that week, including contractors, all of which have been paid, company executives told FOS. “We got great feedback from them on the success of the event,” Fresh Take CEO Jared Sleinstein said. “So, there was no reason to believe that payment would be withheld.” LIV paid about half of the money due in its contract before the preseason event, Sleinsten said. Fresh Tape also operated a smaller-scale preseason event for LIV in 2025, and was paid in full for those services. Fresh Tape’s other work in sports this year has included the Houston Rockets’ schedule release video and a project with Candace Parker around Amazon’s WNBA coverage, among others.But LIV has not paid eight invoices that were due between Jan. 22 and March 22, and range in value from $74,470 to $231,137.40 before interest accrued, according to the suit. LIV “never disputed” any of the invoices, per the filing, and “repeatedly promised that payment was ‘approved’ and/or would be forthcoming.”On May 8, LIV offered to pay Fresh Tape a $200,000 settlement. “This proposal is made in good faith and is intended to balance LIV Golf’s current fin
