LIV Golf Faces Funding Gap as Saudi PIF Plans Post-2026 Exit

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund will stop funding LIV Golf after the 2026 season, with an independent directors committee set to evaluate strategic options and pursue new long-term investors as the league searches for a path forward following a stalled PGA Tour merger. LIV has postponed a New Orleans event amid fundraising efforts, posts losses in non-U.S. operations, and continues to seek partnerships and leadership changes while stars’ contracts (e.g., DeChambeau through 2026, Rahm through 2027) loom over its future.
