LIV Golf is still more than two weeks away from returning from its unintended 47-day summer break—a period that has given the league more time to ramp up its search for new investors.
The Saudi PIF is pulling its funding from LIV at the end of season, and some insiders have questioned whether the cash could dry up before the league’s final event of the 2026 season.
After next week’s Open Championship, the final men’s major of the year, LIV’s U.K. event is scheduled to begin July 23 at JCB Golf & Country Club. The league then has three events scheduled in the U.S. in August to close out the season.
While LIV CEO Scott O’Neil has said multiple times that he expects the PIF to deliver on its promise of funding the remainder of the 2026 season, he stopped short of guaranteeing that all four final events will take place as planned.
Ahead of LIV’s anticipated return to the course, Front Office Sports examined what league leaders have been pitching to potential investors, what a LIV 2.0 could theoretically look like, and how viable that all might be in 2027 and beyond.
