LIV Golf Seeks $250–$350M to Fund Leaner 'LIV 2.0' After PIF Exit

League leaders are pitching a 10-event, team-focused model that gives players more equity to persuade outside investors to replace Saudi funding.

Overview

LIV faces a funding gap after the Saudi Public Investment Fund said it will stop financing the league after this season, and leaders are privately seeking roughly $250–$350 million to continue operations.
The proposed 'LIV 2.0' would shrink the calendar to about 10 global events, stage five team majors and create 'National Opens,' while returning commercial rights and larger ownership stakes to players.
LIV has installed independent directors and hired advisers to run a confidential capital raise and to prepare contingency measures, which include possible restructuring steps and operational changes.
Top players are split on the plan: Bryson DeChambeau has joined investor meetings and expressed public optimism while Sergio Garcia has urged a clear business plan, and DeChambeau’s contract is reported to expire at season’s end.
Potential investors question LIV’s franchise valuations and high cash burn, and the success of the fundraising will shape whether teams, player contracts and the 2027 schedule can be preserved or must be restructured.
