The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) appears to be reconsidering its financial backing for LIV Golf, which has been incurring annual losses of around $500 million. Recent reports indicate that the funding may end sooner than previously announced, raising concerns about the league's future. LIV Golf, which recently awarded Tyrrell Hatton a $20 million prize at the Andalucia event, is now seeking up to $350 million in fresh capital to keep its operations running. If the funding is not secured, the league may have to scale back its schedule from 14 to 10 events and could face Chapter 11 bankruptcy. LIV is reportedly courting potential investors through Ducera Partners, but any new capital would likely come with strict conditions. The league is also considering relocating its headquarters to the United States to facilitate a restructuring process as it faces pressure from creditors.
