LIV Golf's future is uncertain following the Saudi Public Investment Fund's (PIF) announcement that it will cease funding the league at the end of the current season. A report indicates that LIV Golf may run out of money before completing its planned events for 2026. A high-ranking executive from a major partner stated that 'every remaining tournament is on the fence.' LIV's next scheduled event is set for July 23-26 in the United Kingdom. In 2024 and 2025, LIV Golf's monthly spending averaged $100 million, and the PIF had previously injected over $1 billion into the league from 2021 to 2025. The cumulative investment from the PIF was projected to reach $6 billion by the end of 2026. LIV Golf did not respond to a request for comment regarding the funding situation. Earlier this year, the league canceled an event in New Orleans, citing concerns over summer heat, which raised questions about its scheduling decisions.
