Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is set to end support for LIV Golf.

The breakaway golf league that secured nearly £4 billion in Saudi Arabian backing now faces the prospect of being offloaded for a mere 75p.

Failing to deliver on the published schedule will not reassure potential new investors.

O'Neil only spoke about 2026 and did not address what might lie ahead.

The potential postponement comes 12 days after O'Neil promised the tour would continue uninterrupted and at 'full throttle'.

With vast amounts pumped into the US arm, losses likely run to several billion dollars.

LIV's net losses in markets outside the US increased to $462m in 2024.

Fresh capital of $266.7m was injected earlier this year.

Another source felt LIV's leadership was trying to convince itself other revenue could be found.

One source fully expected 2026 to be LIV's last season.

Players were told last month that funding was in place until 2032.

O'Neil insisted it was business as usual in an email to staff.

LIV Golf chief executive Scott O'Neil told players the 2026 season would continue 'as planned and uninterrupted'.

If postponed, LIV would have no tournaments in the USA from 10 May to 6 August (when it goes to Trump Bedminster).

Officials are keen to avoid peak summer heat and ensure the Bayou Oaks course is in top championship condition.

LIV Golf could postpone its event in New Orleans from June to September or October.
