Despite the countless questions surrounding the future of LIV Golf right now, the one thing we do know is that the circuit’s plan remains to finish the 2026 campaign as planned. However, according to a new report, that could prove to be a challenge.
In late April, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) announced that it would suspend funding for the separatist golf league at the end of the season. Even though there are only four events left on the schedule, LIV’s money could run out before the tournaments arrive.
A senior executive at a major LIV Golf partner told Front Office Sports that “all remaining tournaments are on the fence.”

To add even more mystery and speculation, the next LIV event on the calendar isn’t until July 23-26, when the circuit heads to the UK.
With the Saudis formally announcing that they have finished funding the league and more than a month without an event, there is plenty of time for some major developments to unfold.
In early 2026 it was reported that LIV Golf’s monthly net spending averaged $100 million in 2024 and 2025. For the 2026 campaign, LIV’s fifth season, Saudi PIF Governor Yasir Al Rumayyan reportedly approved a $266.6 million capital injection into the circuit.

The PIF reportedly injected more than $1 billion into LIV Golf in 2021, 2022, 2024 and 2025. With the injection of $266 million to start the new year, an increase in prize funds for the season and net spending of $100 million per month, the Saudi PIF’s cumulative investment would reach $6 billion by the end of 2026.
“I really don’t think anyone knows,” the executive told the outlet. “LIV Golf doesn’t know if or when the PIF will turn off the tap.”
LIV Golf did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Pak Gazette Digital/OutKick.
LIV canceled an event earlier this year that was going to take place this month in New Orleans (hence the big break in the schedule) and did so under strange circumstances.

The decision to cancel the tournament in New Orleans supposedly had to do with avoiding the summer heat in Louisiana, although that’s a difficult justification given that the event had long been on the calendar for June, and LIV officials were certainly aware of the heat.
The state of Louisiana was reportedly involved in initially postponing the New Orleans tournament until LIV could restructure its funding.
