The future of LIV Golf is in jeopardy as reports indicate that the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) might withdraw its financial backing after four years of significant losses. An emergency meeting of LIV Golf executives took place in New York, although the official agenda remains undisclosed. The PIF has invested nearly $5 billion into LIV Golf, which has faced a £461.8 million loss in 2024. Despite these concerns, LIV Golf is proceeding with its scheduled tournament in Mexico City, dismissing the rumors of shutdown. Prominent player Sergio Garcia stated that he has not heard any official news about the league's closure and reiterated the long-term commitment from the league's leadership. However, the cancellation of news conferences and the closure of the tournament's media center due to alleged power outages have raised eyebrows about the league's stability.
