LIV Golf's future is in jeopardy following the withdrawal of financial backing from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF). Since its launch, LIV has relied on over $5 billion in funding, making its current model unsustainable. Chief Executive Scott O’Neil is exploring alternative funding sources but faces an uphill battle. The PGA Tour appears to have emerged victorious in its competition with LIV, as many players who once considered LIV now face uncertainty about their careers. Notable players like Bryson DeChambeau and Joaquin Niemann, who has earned $76.32 million with LIV, are now reassessing their options. While some players may seek to return to the PGA Tour, they may encounter difficulties due to existing contracts and the PGA's strengthened negotiating position. The DP World Tour could potentially benefit from this situation by attracting LIV players looking for competition. Overall, this development serves as a cautionary tale about the risks of relying on external funding in sports.
