The future of the LIV Golf Tournament planned for New Orleans this summer is up in the air, following questions that surfaced Wednesday about the financial viability of the Saudi Arabian-backed tournament.

Multiple financial publications reported Wednesday that Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, under pressure from the Iran War, is considering pulling its support from LIV, which would likely force the cancellation of its tournaments.

State and city leaders were scrambling Wednesday amid the reports, referring questions to Gov. Jeff Landry’s office. Officials with City Park, whose Bayou Oaks Golf Course is scheduled to host the tournament in June, and tourism officials with New Orleans & Co. declined to comment.

Landry, through a spokesperson, said only that, “so far, we have not been notified of anything as far as LIV folding or pulling out.”

LIV isn't pulling out of any tournaments in 2026. This is just fake news material trying to get clicks.
