In April, LIV Golf suffered a major blow after being informed that funding from Saudi Arabia\u2019s Public Investment Firm would be cut off at the end of the 2026 season. However, there\u2019s growing speculation it won\u2019t make it that far amid worries its biggest benefactor will decide to cut its losses sooner than expected.<\/p>\n

LIV Golf<\/a> kicked off its fifth season at the start of February after two of its biggest names, Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed, announced they were defecting back to the PGA Tour. That was less than ideal for an organization that was already struggling on the relevancy front, but the setback paled in comparison to the one that unfolded a couple of months later.<\/p>\n

The league has largely relied on money from Saudi Arabia\u2019s Public Investment Fund to function, although it didn\u2019t have much to show for the more than $6 billion that had been funneled into the venture since its inception. That didn\u2019t stop the powers that be from committing to\u00a0 LIV Golf until 2032, but in April, they reversed course by announcing the money would stop flowing upon the conclusion of the current season.<\/p>\n

As things currently stand, there are four events remaining on a schedule that\u2019s slated to wrap up at the end of August. However, whether or not that actually ends up being the case is far from certain.<\/p>\n

LIV Golf is reportedly worried it will run out of money before the scheduled end of the 2026 season<\/p>\n

The most recent LIV Golf tournament concluded in Spain over the weekend, and the cancellation of the event that was scheduled to unfold in Louisiana at the end of June means there will be a one-and-a-half-month hiatus before players reconvene in England in the final week of July.<\/p>\n

That will theoretically be followed by a showdown at Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey, which will precede the individual championship in Indianapolis and the team championship in Michigan that will cap off the slate when it gets underway on August 30th.<\/p>\n

However, Front Office Sports reports<\/a> there has been plenty of chatter about money running out before all of those events are played, as one unnamed source familiar with the current state of affairs told the outlet, \u201cEvery remaining tournament is on the fence.\u201d<\/p>\n

An anonymous LIV Golf executive says the PIF has been providing monthly payments to keep the lights on but said there are questions about whether or not those will continue until the season is scheduled to end, noting, \u201cLIV Golf doesn\u2019t know if or when the PIF will shut off the spigot.\u201d Another insider is fairly pessimistic, saying, \u201cI don\u2019t think they\u2019ll ever get to Michigan.\u201d<\/p>\n

The organization is currently courting outside investors in the hopes of continuing without the assistance of the PIF, but there is nothing to suggest it\u2019s close to securing the upwards of $250 million it is reportedly attempting to land to stay alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Raymond Carlin III-Imagn Images In April, LIV Golf suffered a major blow after being informed that funding from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":723312,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,14239,85],"class_list":["post-723311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-golf","tag-liv-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=723311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723311\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/723312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=723311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=723311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=723311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
