LIV Golf Secures New Investor Funding Amid Saudi Funding Withdrawal

LIV Golf announced that a new lead investor has entered an agreement to provide capital, improving the league's financial outlook beyond the 2026 season after the Saudi Public Investment Fund halted its contributions. The league's chief executive said the funding will support the next era of the tour, which is set to hold a major competition at Donald Trump’s New Jersey golf course. While the exact amount of the new capital was not disclosed, the infusion follows a period of uncertainty for the organization. Over a dozen additional entities are reportedly interested in minority positions, pointing to a multi‑partner model for long‑term stability.

Why it matters

The new financing could keep LIV Golf operational, affecting players, sponsors and the broader professional golf landscape.
