LIV Golf funding in doubt

LIV Golf funding in doubt

The future of the controversial golf tour is under scrutiny as the PIF reevaluates its investment priorities amid mounting financial pressures, including the cost of hosting the 2034 World Cup.

LIV Golf has struggled with stagnant television ratings and a recent inability to attract top-tier talent from the PGA Tour.

Senior executives were reportedly summoned to an emergency meeting in New York to discuss potential merger negotiations.

While players like Sergio Garcia claim to have heard nothing about a shutdown, industry insiders suggest the league's multi-billion dollar investment has yet to yield a sustainable business model.
