LIV 2.0: Investors, tighter purses, and a shifting tour map redefine LIV Golf's survival plan
LIV Golf is scrambling for roughly $350 million after Saudi funding wanes, seeking new investors who would receive equity as part of a revamped “LIV 2.0” plan. The core schedule could shrink to 10 events with about $10 million purses, and the bottom portion of fields might see reduced payouts. Complicating the outlook, the Asian Tour split threatens LIV’s promotion path and could leave it frozen out, pushing players to consider DP World Tour Q‑School or other routes as the calendar’s fate remains uncertain beyond Bedminster and a few remaining stops.
