LIV Golf could reportedly run out of money before wrapping up 2026 season after Saudis pull funding

Tim Brando tells Dan Dakich why he thinks LIV never grabbed the attention of American golf fans

Despite the countless questions surrounding LIV Golf's future at the moment, the one certainty we do know is that the circuit's plan continues to finish out the 2026 campaign as scheduled. However, according to a new report, that could prove to be a challenge.

At the end of April, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) announced that it would pull the plug on funding the breakaway golf league at the conclusion of the season. Despite there only being four events left on the calendar, LIV's money could run out before the tournaments arrive.

A high-ranking executive from a major partner of LIV Golf told Front Office Sports that "every remaining tournament is on the fence."

To add even more mystery and speculation, LIV's next event on the calendar is not until July 23-26, when the circuit heads to the United Kingdom.

With the Saudis formally announcing they are done funding the league and more than a month without an event, there is ample time for some major developments to unfold.

It was reported in early 2026 that LIV Golf's net spending per month 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.
