LIV Golf’s future is in doubt after a Financial Times report Wednesday that the Saudi Public Investment Fund is “on the verge” of cutting financial support for the league.
With rumors swirling about the circuit’s future, the Financial Times reported that an announcement on LIV’s future could come as early as Thursday.
LIV is currently preparing to host its sixth of 14 events this week in Mexico City. The league’s pro-am was underway on Wednesday, and first-round tee times were published on the LIV website.
Ryan French of Monday Q Info said on social media on Tuesday night that a “bombshell” announcement about LIV was imminent. The Telegraph reported that LIV executives met for an emergency session earlier in New York City. Golf Channel’s Rex Hoggard reported that a meeting of the LIV team general managers was expected at 4 p.m. ET Wednesday in Mexico City.
