After Tyrrell Hatton defeated LIV Golf teammate Jon Rahm by two strokes in Spain on Sunday to win another $4 million, the league now has 47 days until its next scheduled tournament.
As that unintended summer break—due to LIV canceling its New Orleans event in April—approaches, there is a growing sentiment among those in and around LIV that the funding from Saudi PIF could dry up even earlier than expected, multiple sources told Front Office Sports.
The PIF, which has spent more than $6 billion on LIV since 2022, announced in April that it had “made the decision to fund LIV Golf only for the remainder of the 2026 season.” But now questions are mounting about the viability of the four remaining events—beginning with LIV Golf U.K., July 23-26, followed by three tournaments in the U.S.
“Every remaining tournament is on the fence,” a high-ranking executive at one of LIV’s major league-level partners told FOS.
That uncertainty is shared by many sources inside LIV and with close ties to the league who spoke to FOS.
