Yasir Al Rumayyan on Feb. 1, according to MONEY IN SPORT. Net spending by LIV Golf averaged $100M per month in 2024 and 2025, financed by \u201cregular capital injections from PIF rather than a single annual payment.\u201d Applying this run rate of spending in 2026, PIF can \u201cexpect to invest\u201d $1.2B in total &#8212; which would \u201ctake its cumulative spending past\u201d $6B by the end of this year.
