LIV Golf faces potential collapse

Speculation regarding LIV Golf's demise intensified following a secret meeting of executives in New York and the sale of the Al-Hilal football club by the Saudi wealth fund.

The potential pullback on sports investing is seen as a strategic shift by Saudi Arabia to prioritize financial returns over cultural influence.

Many top golfers who defected from the PGA Tour now face uncertain career trajectories if the league liquidates.

Despite the CEO's reassurances, the absence of plans for the 2027 season has left players and staff in a state of career limbo.
