Unfortunately for most of the golf board, it looks like LIV will be staying here for awhile.

Maybe. They appear to be headed towards a merger of some sort with the Asian Tour.

More importantly, the PIF spigot is clearly drying up. That much is apparent - they’ve only signed 1 player in the current Datagolf 100 since the Rahm / Hatton move two years ago.

They have clearly pivoted strategies - place smaller bets on young guys with promise (McKibben, LeSasso, Ballester, etc.) and fill out with mid-table level players. Honestly, smart strategy if you are working with fewer resources. However, the days of them putting up a pretense of being a true competitor to the PGA Tour are likely over.

The PIF is drawing back on all sorts of vanity investments - and the professional services like finance, consulting, and legal that go with them - all across the board at this point. They finally exited hard on Neom. Hell, it was McKinsey that helped get them into this mess in the first place.
