LIV Golf future in doubt
Despite the CEO's reassurances, the email notably failed to mention plans for the 2027 season, leaving many high-profile players in a state of career limbo.
The uncertainty comes as Saudi Arabia reportedly shifts its investment strategy to prioritize financial returns over cultural influence.
The recent sale of the Al-Hilal football club by the PIF has further fueled rumors of a broader pullback from expensive sporting ventures.
If the tour collapses, it would mark the end of one of the most disruptive and expensive sagas in professional golf history.
