Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) has announced a major shift in its golfing ambitions, revealing plans to sever ties with the embattled LIV Golf tour by the end of the 2026 season. The PIF, a key backer of the breakaway golf league, has been a lightning rod for controversy due to its ties to the Saudi government. LIV Golf has been criticized for luring top golfers away from the established PGA Tour with lucrative deals, sparking a bitter feud between the two organizations. As the PIF prepares to withdraw its financial support, the future of LIV Golf and its star-studded roster hangs in the balance.
PIF said on Thursday that it would cut funding of LIV Golf at end of 2026 season.
