They’ve already invested $5 billion, and will cross the $6B mark by the end of this year.

Sooner or later they have to see a return on all that money. Contrary to popular belief, the Saudi royals do not have unlimited funds.

This is essentially coming out now bc PIF just released their 5 year strategy.

Yasir had initially committed to LIV Golf through 2032, but it seems the events in the Middle East have changed things for them

This was pretty obvious when Reed and Koepka took their money and ran back to the PGA.

When Koepka came back, they rolled out a returning player program that only applied to Bryson, Rahm, & Cam Smith.

They made Patrick Reed serve his 1 year suspension & then he can earn his PGA Tour status back.

I’m sure they would do something similar for the 2027 season, maybe with more players but who knows. Everyone else would have to earn their way back or play on Asian Tour/DP Tour

Yeah, im sure golfers making tons of money are worried about liv stopping 6 years from now.

PGA golfers act pissed, but it caused the PGA to pay out differently. They all benefited from LIV being in existence

Of the $7 million Louisiana is putting toward the event, $2 million will go toward upgrading the public Bayou Oaks course, and the remaining $5 million will go to LIV Golf as a hosting fee.

The execs were told on Sunday and started looking for jobs on Monday. This isn’t lasting six more years.

All you Liv backers shouldn't be able to watch the PGA for the next 3 years.

Probably stinks if you’re a borderline player trying to work your way off that tour to the PGA tour right now. Now you’re gonna have a bunch of really good dudes to drop back in.
