LIV Golf says it has reached an agreement with a new unnamed lead investor following Saudi Arabia’s decision to end its funding. Several outlets report that the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), which has supported the breakaway league, announced in April that it would stop funding at the end of 2026. With that timetable approaching, LIV Golf states it has now secured a replacement investor arrangement to support the league’s operations beyond the Saudi-backed period. Sky Sports and other reports describe the investor only as “unnamed,” and indicate that the deal is intended to ensure financial backing for the tour after PIF’s withdrawal. Al Jazeera adds that the agreement is approved by the LIV Golf board as part of a plan for a player-driven future without Saudi funding. Yahoo Sports similarly reports the agreement is in place for 2027, presenting it as continuity for the league’s next season after the end of the PIF funding cycle. Across the reports, the central points are the PIF exit timeline, LIV Golf’s confirmation of a new lead investor, and the investor’s identity not being publicly disclosed.
