Rumours that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund might scale back its LIV Golf involvement have not altered Newcastle United's stance; reports say PIF remains committed to the club, which continues long-term projects like a £200 million training ground and possible St James' Park redevelopment, with senior figures visiting Tyneside.

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund is reportedly preparing to withdraw funding from LIV Golf, a move that could destabilize the split league and raise questions about the future of the kingdom’s broad sports investments—from Newcastle United in football to tennis, boxing, MMA, motorsport and streaming via DAZN.

The Athletic reports that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund plans to pull its funding for LIV Golf as it shifts focus to domestic investments, a change that could affect Newcastle United, which is majority-owned by PIF and has depended on its money for transfers and cash flow.
