Saudi funding for LIV Golf pulled, signaling end of the rebel tour
TL;DR
The Wall Street Journal reports that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund will stop financing LIV Golf after this season, ending roughly $6 billion in funding that drew top players but left LIV with about $1.1 billion in losses from 2022–2024 and no merger with the PGA Tour. The league must find replacement financing amid ongoing uncertainty, while players weigh their futures and the PGA Tour signals accountability for past rule-breaking.
