Saudi PIF will end funding for LIV Golf, WSJ reports

Annalisa147

I love this for all of them

Peter Principle136

Get ready for the Golden Ballroom and LIV Golf Relief Act of 2026.

Karmageddon120

FABULOUS! The golfers who jumped ship are like scabs are to unions. FFS, even Tiger Woods didn't go over to LIV. To hell with DeChambeau, Sergio, Mickelson and all the rest. Make them grovel until they retire. I hope Rory McIlroy, who refused to defect to LIV, is thoroughly enjoying this.

Shai Hulud 🇺🇸 & 🇳🇬 & 🇮🇳102

MBS has been know to cut people off.

clnzjay 🌱 🐶 🇨🇦95

Hahahaha! And the LIV Golf was was tied to Trump's golf courses. #ETTD.

bobhudsonvalley.bsky.social43

Now professional PGA golfers who have chosen to pocket Saudi Arabia (MBS) blood money will have no choice but to crawl back here or retire but make no mistake their legacy will never be the same.

obg99.bsky.social39

Saudis are learning a valuable lesson and I'm there for it. Prince Bonesaw sucks. Everything trump touches dies.

spencerdow.bsky.social34

Dear star players that voted to leave the PGA... Welcome to your F.O. portion of your life.

K. Moore 🦋📚🎼25

Saudi will pull back on spending in other sectors too, wish they would pull out of the Warner Bros merger too.

Diana Smith20

Bahahahahaha I love this for them.

Bessie the Cow19

More like DED Golf amiright

The Resistance CO16

Boo hoo! They took the bone saw money. Hope it’s very painful for these multi millionaires!

Trump is a convicted RAPIST12

Mohammed bin Salman's Bone-Saw Tours will not be missed.

Jay W11

And at what point does Saudi Arabia and the UAE cash in their “investments” into Jared Kushner’s fund Only to discover it was a Ponzi scheme?

Katrine Koenig11

too bad for trump's golf courses

Danger Din10

As PGA made clear in the beginning, they will not be welcome back. These hacks jumped for money from a murdering terrorist leader. There should be a lifetime ban from the PGA!

thierno10

Ouch... Sucks for those who jumped ship, to follow a shiny object. Not all that glitters is good/ gold. Ha.

Auburn Blake9

I hate that for those sellouts, I mean pro golfers.

doughardy.bsky.social9

“Players face a painful road back” after collecting tens of millions in signing fees. Cry me a river

nukidz13.bsky.social8

None of the Liv golfers should be allowed back until minimum 3yr probationary period and only limited number of tournaments.No majors until end of probationary period.They were greedy and took bloodmoney and flipped the bird to the tour

Hello Sarah 🇲🇽8

Great material for the next Riyadh comedy festival

Juliet 🏳️‍⚧☭8

Saudis timing on this is a direct result of the US backing UAE's exit from OPEC

TRuxMintinBox7

lol. Fuck those greedy assholes.

cameraman11.bsky.social7

Good Maybe don't accept blood money

Lol. They sold their reputation for money then they lost both their reputation and the money. Nobody deserves it more.

“You can come back to the PGA Tour, if you pay us all the money LIV Golf paid you to be on its tour.”

Brad7

Anyone else remember when LIV “spelled the end” for the PGA?

kristinekenyon.bsky.social6

Wow will they have to give back Bonesaw’s blood money too?? 🩸

ChiTownMar6

Best news of the day.

Sane American6

Make the greedy defectors pay a two year suspension before they can get back to the PGA.

cslaterme.bsky.social6

The guys who jumped to LIV for those big paydays should have to at least sit out a couple of seasons, or even not allowed back at all.

Keith Goodall6

PGA should ban all those that jumped ship for the $$$$

Kelly Frady5

Looks like Koepka read the writing on the wall and bailed before this announcement. I wish the PGA hadn't welcomed him back so quickly.

Matthew Budman, book guy5

Wondering whether Trump will take this as a personal slight. He went all-in on LIV.

Nick SomethingGreek5

MBS is kinda known for cutting things off….

Elizabeth5

Good. And I hope the PGA tells all those who left for LIV Golf that they can pound sand.

Ken Shaw5

Oh. What a surprise. This was going to happen, so easy to predict. Never was necessary.

lapeemommee.bsky.social5

They made their beds. FAFO

Jim Barrows 🇺🇸4

Will the Golfer-in-Chief now bail out LIV ala Spirit Airlines?

joecorey3rd.bsky.social4

Think how badly Trump wanted LIV to equal merge with PGA. It was a golf ponzi scheme after all. Will Trump golf courses that hosted LIV events be scorned by PGA.

Kerri4

Well ain’t that a shame. I wonder what money laundering grift it was for the Saudis and who benefited on the other end.

ElleM4

Is this push back to trump? www.golfdigest.com/story/liv-go...

cademc.bsky.social4

Good! Let LIV die! Traitors for $$$, all of them!

Joe Thoma IV4

Koepka and Reed look pretty smart at this point. Bryson hinted that he might just do YouTube videos now. But Rahm. That fuckin guy left after he knew what it meant to leave, then didn't take the opportunity to come back when he knew the writing was on the wall. PGA should black ball him forever.

kristinekenyon.bsky.social3

Good luck on your walk of shame, fellas #ETTD

Di3

They all have plenty of money…they can walk the sidewalk of shame. They need to pay a heavy price. No patriots in that group!

Bluesky Guy Bunchanumbers3

Now the Tour will cry poor-mouth and try to roll back those increased purses and bonus money

Alan B3

Yeah can't say I'll shed any tears, the top flight guys will be fine but the lower ranks have a real problem

HottKarl3

Who would’ve guessed that a blood-money funded golf exhibition group (this was never a competitive event featuring the world’s best) wouldn’t have the backing of most decent people and sponsors? Crazy how decency generally prevails, albeit slowly.

depressivehacks3

Brooks Koepka looks like a fucking genius if this is true.

blondbomber.bsky.social2

So, what was their goal?

Brooklyn American2

Hoping the Saudi's will continue their war-related belt-tightening and demand their $2B back from Jared Kushner

jeff stone's TV2

We need to bring back 90's level sellout shaming

alvin-tostig.bsky.social2

So it doesn’t even matter what dechambeau decides to do.

Hold on We need to invert the Hubble Space telescope so we can find the world's tiniest violin

Deadwood CS2

But they all received free bone saws as a parting gift!

brass.mouser2

“isn’t YET ready” — let’s be real; these privileged motherfuckers chose a regime and a paycheck over country and the fourth estate wants to frame it as if they committed a slight offense lmfao we’re cooked because journalists can’t tell the truth on even the most basic things anymore. it’s shameful.

Donna D2

I cannot be happier for all involved.

So money can not buy happiness or love (LIV).

NaciFan2

If they were smart with their money, they can retire. If they weren’t, f em as the saying goes.

thehoodedclaw.bsky.social2

I just hope the PGA and DP tours take a hard line. Allow the effected players to to spend more time with their bank balances.

Peter Christian Hall2

Too bad. These paragons sucked up to a known murderer of a particularly brutal sort. Let 'em all age idly.

Per2

The road back from being billionaires to simply being millionaires.

isonope.bsky.social2

Saudis suck anyway. No one should take their money. They are a terrorist state

Chris (ctw)2

The Trump family got what they needed tho.

A moon shadow2

No warning just CHOP! CHOP! ?

Somewhere in Wisconsin2

They realized they didn't need a middleman as they already own Rump!

Well, lie down with dogs get up with fleas.

José from Portland11

Insert Nelson "HA HA" GIF here. Wait, actually, I will do so:

Truther_Dare8

PGA should tell those losers to kick rocks

Comrade Nathan (YouTuber)7

Looks like the Saudis are having to make a series of cuts, and happily this time, not into the body of a journalist who's been mildly critical of the regime.

Terraformer6

wonder if this has anything to do with the sudden (and apparently prolonged) loss of that sweet, sweet oil revenue; then again, the regime has more money than God so who knows

Agitator (outside/inside)5

No need to launder money through golf tournaments anymore since American justice department is in on the game.

Shane3

Well I hope those golfers banked their blood money because things are about to get real unfun.

mistaimpossible.bsky.social2

Trump knows nothing other than fuckin everyone else over

ibleedpurple.bsky.social10

Don’t feel sorry for those golfers- they are sellouts- and shouldn’t be allowed back on the PGA.

Jimmy10

I just hope the PGA doesn't take them back.

Bookhisattva7

Looks like Saudi billions will buy you bonesaws and murder but not golf leagues or an iota of credibility. What a colossal failure.

edjohnson21.bsky.social5

Did they pull their money from Kushner?

Netty Bo Betty5

Trump's club in Virginia touting the LIV Golf tournament next week 😎

Howard Roark5

So Rory McIlrory was proven correct

Nick SomethingGreek4

’Cutting things off’ is kinda what MBS is known for….

Big Worker3

Hahaha awesome, hopefully this is the future of every prestige investment from the Gulf states as they liquidate to pay for the consequences of the Iran War

G2

They should all be charged a fee equivalent of what they made with LIV in order to be allowed to re-join the PGA tour.

EmmyEm 🇺🇸+🇬🇧💙2

Ha! Ha! Ha! I love this for those greedy golfing losers who immediately tossed aside morals and jumped all in with LIV

Wyl2

Guess I'm finally going to have to retire this...

bulldogmom.bsky.social2

It’s just delicious that the Saudi’s finances tanking because of Trump’s incompetent war with Iran which leads to failure of LIV which hurts Trump’s golf courses. #ETTD oil & golf edition.

Booster Grey6

Oh! Oh! I have a perfect gif for this!

Mr Mabs3

L M A O O O O O O O O so their last resort is to beg trump for help and after that fails??? SEE YA 😭
