There are fresh reports suggesting that LIV Golf may not tee off at its next event … in just 47 days time with funding speculation mounting.
What we know:
LIV Golf plans to play on this season as the hierarchy heads out to market to find fresh funding following the decision by the PIF to cancel all contributions to the league after the end of 2026.
The league has 47 days until its next scheduled tournament because it scrapped the New Orleans event back in April.
There is talk of filing for bankruptcy – the easiest way to get out of current contracts and renegotiate at a lower baseline.
New reports:
“Every remaining tournament is on the fence,” a high-ranking executive at one of LIV’s major league-level partners told FOS.
“I truly don’t think anyone knows,” the executive said.
“LIV Golf doesn’t know if or when the PIF will shut off the spigot.”
Out of the four remaining events, LIV Golf New York at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster from August 6-9 seems to be the safest bet to not be impacted by any further PIF funding decisions, sources believe, given US President Donald Trump’s close ties to Saudi Arabia.
LIV Golf Virginia was played at Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C. last month.
LIV’s regular season finale in Indianapolis from August 20-23 and its $40 million team championship in Michigan in August have more stakeholders worried.
Those tournaments don’t have the luxury of being affiliated with Trump or as strong financial backing from local governments as some of LIV’s international events do.
