NEW YORK- Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund is set to stop financing LIV Golf after the 2026 season, according to US media reports, putting the future of the breakaway golf league in serious doubt. The tour, created in 2022 as a rival to the PGA Tour, has relied heavily on Saudi investment to attract top players like Bryson DeChambeau and Phil Mickelson, spending billions in the process.
Reports suggest the league will inform staff and players that it must find new funding or strategic partners to continue operating, with over $5 billion already invested. While LIV Golf officials insist the season will continue “full throttle,” uncertainty is growing, especially after recent event postponements, raising concerns about player futures and potential legal or contractual complications if the tour collapses.
