Maybe Nobel worthy... maybe... Especially if it is a slow year. The problem here is that there are a not small (>3) number of people responsible for the LIGO experiments, and the Nobel committees are rarely (these days) making decisions that can seem arbitrary when faced with selecting which 3 (at most) deserve the prize. So it might take a while for this 1) to be confirmed by independent groups (essential to the Nobel) and 2) the number of PIs to whittle down until there are 3 or less still alive...
