LIV Golf sued for £880,000 over unpaid technology fees
Mobii Systems Group Ltd has launched legal action against LIV Golf, seeking $1.13 million in damages for unpaid invoices and lost revenue.
Legal dispute over broadcast technology
Mobii Systems Group Ltd, a specialist technology provider, has filed a lawsuit against the professional golf league LIV Golf. The legal claim, initiated last week, seeks a total of $1.13 million in compensation.
The dispute centres on the provision of specialised broadcast features. Mobii Systems Group Ltd was responsible for delivering the "Any Shot, Any Time" live viewing capabilities utilised during LIV Golf's televised broadcasts.
Unpaid invoices and financial claims
The claimant alleges that the golf league has failed to settle outstanding invoices related to these technological services. In addition to the direct costs of the unpaid services, the lawsuit includes claims for lost revenue resulting from the payment dispute.
The specific breakdown of the $1.13 million figure includes:
- Outstanding payments for technical services provided during broadcast windows.
- Financial losses incurred due to the non-payment of agreed contracts.
- Associated costs stemming from the breach of payment terms.
LIV Golf has not yet issued a formal response to the legal proceedings. The case highlights the growing complexities in the commercial relationships between professional sports leagues and the technology firms that support their global media outputs.
The "Any Shot, Any Time" feature allowed viewers to access specific camera angles and shot data, a key component of the league's digital broadcast strategy. The technical infrastructure required to maintain these real-time data feeds remains a central point of the legal contention.
