Speculation regarding the future of LIV Golf has intensified following reports that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is considering cutting its financial support. This development comes as LIV Golf executives were summoned for an emergency meeting in New York. Players, including Sergio Garcia, are currently in Mexico City for the sixth event of the 2026 calendar, which begins on Thursday. Despite the uncertainty, Garcia stated that players have not received any official communication regarding a potential shutdown, contradicting earlier assurances from Yasir Al-Rumayyan, governor of the PIF. Since its launch in 2022, the PIF has invested over $5 billion into LIV Golf, attracting top players with lucrative contracts. However, the league faces challenges, including stagnant television ratings and the recent departures of notable players like Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed back to the PGA Tour. Following the event in Mexico City, there are still nine events remaining in LIV Golf's fourth season.
