LIV Golf future in doubt

LIV Golf future in doubt

The breakaway league, which has been bankrolled by the PIF to the tune of over $5 billion since 2022, is reportedly facing a 'moment of pressure' as its backers reassess their investment.

Speculation about the tour's collapse intensified after reports suggested that Saudi influence in the sport may have reached its limit.

PGA Tour officials have indicated they are monitoring the situation closely but are not yet ready to discuss potential poaching of players.

The uncertainty comes as LIV Golf prepares for its next event in Mexico, with many star players left in a state of professional limbo.
