LIV Golf's immediate future is uncertain with the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund on the verge of pulling its funding for the league, sources told Andrew Beaton of the Wall Street Journal.

The PIF's total investment in LIV reached $5.3 billion earlier this year, per Golfweek's Adam Schupak.

LIV's tournament in Mexico City, scheduled to begin Thursday, is expected to go ahead as planned. It's the sixth of 14 events scheduled this season.

LIV Golf is in its fifth year after poaching prominent PGA TOUR stars including Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau, and Phil Mickelson. Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed also joined LIV but separately announced earlier in 2026 that they'd committed to rejoining the PGA TOUR.

In February, LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil told the Financial Times that it would take the league 5-10 years to begin turning a profit, according to The Athletic.
