Saudi PIF will end funding for LIV Golf, WSJ reports
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund will stop funding LIV Golf after this season, and LIV plans to inform players and staff on Thursday. The withdrawal cuts off the Saudi cash that financed LIV's bid to build a rival tour by signing A-list players and spending billions on events since 2022. The PGA Tour has declined to guarantee reinstatement for players WHO defected, leaving many to face contract disputes and eligibility hurdles. If the funding ends, LIV tournaments and player deals could collapse, reshaping professional golf's competition and sponsorship landscape.
“.. After spending recent weeks on life support, LIV Golf has lost the funding of its Saudi backers.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/sports/golf/...
It’s star players face the walk of shame, after lining their pockets with all those BoneSaw Bucks
I love this for all of them
Get ready for the Golden Ballroom and LIV Golf Relief Act of 2026.
MBS has been know to cut people off.
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.
Hahahaha! And the LIV Golf was was tied to Trump's golf courses. #ETTD.
I think I remember the PGA Tour telling you to go and don’t come back. I’m looking for a taco Tuesday for the PGA.
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.
Saudis are learning a valuable lesson and I'm there for it. Prince Bonesaw sucks. Everything trump touches dies.
Dear star players that voted to leave the PGA... Welcome to your F.O. portion of your life.
Saudi will pull back on spending in other sectors too, wish they would pull out of the Warner Bros merger too.
Bahahahahaha I love this for them.
More like DED Golf amiright
Those ship jumpers should not be allowed back in. They went for Money Bags Saudiman’s blood money and totally disregarded the regime’s human rights record.
If the Saudis are reevaluating investments, I’m thinking it won’t be long until they recall their stake in Kushner’s fund that has yet to earn a dime.
Mohammed bin Salman's Bone-Saw Tours will not be missed.
Boo hoo! They took the bone saw money. Hope it’s very painful for these multi millionaires!
Ouch... Sucks for those who jumped ship, to follow a shiny object. Not all that glitters is good/ gold. Ha.
too bad for trump's golf courses
I hate that for those sellouts, I mean pro golfers.
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?
“Players face a painful road back” after collecting tens of millions in signing fees. Cry me a river
Saudis timing on this is a direct result of the US backing UAE's exit from OPEC
lol. Fuck those greedy assholes.
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
Great material for the next Riyadh comedy festival
“You can come back to the PGA Tour, if you pay us all the money LIV Golf paid you to be on its tour.”
Best news of the day.
Anyone else remember when LIV “spelled the end” for the PGA?
MBS is kinda known for cutting things off….
Good Maybe don't accept blood money
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!
Make the greedy defectors pay a two year suspension before they can get back to the PGA.
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.
PGA should ban all those that jumped ship for the $$$$
Wow they just violently sawed them right out of their contracts. Sad.
Looks like Koepka read the writing on the wall and bailed before this announcement. I wish the PGA hadn't welcomed him back so quickly.
Will the Golfer-in-Chief now bail out LIV ala Spirit Airlines?
Good. And I hope the PGA tells all those who left for LIV Golf that they can pound sand.
Oh. What a surprise. This was going to happen, so easy to predict. Never was necessary.
They made their beds. FAFO
Well ain’t that a shame. I wonder what money laundering grift it was for the Saudis and who benefited on the other end.
Lol. They sold their reputation for money then they lost both their reputation and the money. Nobody deserves it more.
Good! Let LIV die! Traitors for $$$, all of them!
I bet trump isn’t happy about this.
Now the Tour will cry poor-mouth and try to roll back those increased purses and bonus money
Yeah can't say I'll shed any tears, the top flight guys will be fine but the lower ranks have a real problem
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.
Is this push back to trump? www.golfdigest.com/story/liv-go...
Brooks Koepka looks like a fucking genius if this is true.
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.
Who gives a shit??? You know what there are too many of in this world? Golfers!
Did anyone not see this coming?
LIV plans to tell players and staff that Saudi Arabia will pull its funding, signaling the end of the "upstart that sowed chaos in professional golf by plowing billions into the sport and poaching A-list players" (gift link)
While the PGA is going to have a good time being petty. The Saudi's spending so much the last couple of years and now being hard up for cash is the real story.
Well, lie down with dogs get up with fleas.
PGA should tell those losers to kick rocks
Insert Nelson "HA HA" GIF here. Wait, actually, I will do so:
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
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.
Well I hope those golfers banked their blood money because things are about to get real unfun.
1. BREAKING via WSJ Saudi Arabia Pulls Funding From LIV Golf. LIV plans to tell players and staff by Thursday that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund would end its funding for the upstart league.
2. But the PGA Tour isn't yet ready to welcome back those who jumped ship. Someone laugh at Phil Mickelson who blocks me.
I just hope the PGA doesn't take them back.
Don’t feel sorry for those golfers- they are sellouts- and shouldn’t be allowed back on the PGA.
’Cutting things off’ is kinda what MBS is known for….
So Rory McIlrory was proven correct
Looks like Saudi billions will buy you bonesaws and murder but not golf leagues or an iota of credibility. What a colossal failure.
