Overview
- Major outlets reported Wednesday that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund is weighing whether to stop financing LIV Golf, with some signaling a decision could come soon.
- LIV chief Scott O’Neil emailed staff that the schedule "continues exactly as planned," and the league promoted tee times as players prepared for the Mexico City event.
- A later interview reported by the New York Post quoted O’Neil saying funding is secured only through this season, highlighting uncertainty over longer-term backing.
- Reports from The Athletic and The Telegraph described emergency meetings in New York and leadership roles at risk, with some senior staff already job-hunting.
- Coverage tied PIF’s reassessment to heavy losses, limited media income, and a shift to domestic priorities during regional economic strain, a mix that could send more players to seek paths back to the PGA Tour.
