Despite the countless questions currently surrounding the future of LIV Golf, the only certainty we know is that the tour’s plan remains to complete the 2026 campaign as planned. However, according to a new report, this could prove to be a challenge.
In late April, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) announced it would end funding for the separatist golf league at the end of the season. Although there are only four events left on the calendar, LIV’s money could run out before the tournaments arrive.
A senior executive at a major LIV Golf partner told Front Office Sports that “every remaining tournament is uncertain.”

To add even more mystery and speculation, LIV’s next event on the calendar won’t take place until July 23-26, when the circuit heads to the United Kingdom.
With the Saudis officially announcing they have finished funding the league and over a month without an event, there is plenty of time for major developments to take place.
It was reported in early 2026 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 tour.

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, a price increase for the season and a net spend of $100 million per month, the Saudi PIF’s cumulative investment was expected to reach $6 billion by the end of 2026.
“I really don’t think anyone knows,” the executive told the outlet. “LIV Golf does not know if or when the PIF will turn off the tap.”
LIV Golf did not immediately respond to a request for comment from PK Press Club Digital/OutKick.
LIV canceled an event earlier this year that was supposed to take place this month in New Orleans – hence the huge lull in the calendar – and did so under strange circumstances.

The decision to cancel the tournament in New Orleans was reportedly intended to avoid the summer heat in Louisiana, although that was a difficult justification to make given that the event had long been on the June calendar, with LIV officials certainly aware of the heat.
Louisiana State was initially reportedly involved in postponing the New Orleans tournament until LIV could restructure its funding.
