A Toronto-area technology company has launched legal action against LIV Golf, alleging the professional golf circuit failed to settle more than $1 million in fees tied to a live-broadcast product that tracks shots during tournaments.
What the lawsuit says
Mobii Systems Group — which developed the “Any Shot, Any Time” feature used to capture and present ball-tracking and shot data during LIV Golf broadcasts — claims LIV owes a combined $925,100 in unpaid charges and is seeking an additional $209,531 in lost revenue for events it says were cancelled after the league ceased using the technology. The total pursued exceeds $1.1 million.
- Licence fee alleged unpaid: $820,600
- Usage fees for the season: $104,500
- Additional claimed lost revenue: $209,531 for remaining events
According to the filing, Mobii says LIV paid invoices in 2025 but then informed the supplier in May that the league would not deploy the technology at an upcoming tournament in South Korea or at its remaining five events in 2026 while it reviewed “business model, partnerships and cost structure.” Mobii says it served LIV with notice of termination the same day.
"[LIV] notified Mobii that the league wouldn't continue using its technology at its tournament in South Korea ... or its remaining five events this year as it evaluated its 'business model, our partnerships and our cost structure.'"
Why it matters
The case highlights two issues for technology firms that supply live sports productions: how licence and usage contracts are enforced, and the risks when rights holders abruptly stop using a vendor's services. For companies that sell specialised broadcast technology — particularly small or medium-sized suppliers — unpaid invoices and sudden contract termination can have significant cash-flow and revenue impacts.
Mobii provides tools that convert on-course shot data into viewer-facing graphics and feeds. Broadcasters and event operators increasingly rely on such systems to enhance coverage and create interactive experiences for audiences and sponsors; disputes over payment could influence how future deals are structured, including escrow arrangements, milestone payments or stronger termination clauses.
| Item | Amount (US$) |
|---|---|
| Licence fee alleged unpaid | $820,600 |
| Usage fees this season | $104,500 |
| Additional lost revenue claimed | $209,531 |
| Total alleged | $1,134,631 |
The complaint does not appear to allege intellectual-property misuse or data-security incidents; it centres on unpaid fees and an alleged breach of a two-year contract that was due to expire Dec. 31. The public record indicates Mobii supplied the product for the previous season and received payment then.
Neither Mobii nor LIV Golf provided additional comment to InfoRadar. Legal proceedings of this nature can take months to progress and often end in negotiated settlements, but they can also set precedents for vendor protections and payment structures in sports-technology agreements.
