Golf-McIlroy Warns LIV Golf Players of Tough Road Back to PGA Tour
Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund is pulling support, leaving LIV Golf to seek new investors as its 2027 schedule shrinks to 10 events.
- LIV Golf confirmed on Wednesday that its Indianapolis event starting Thursday, August 20, will mark the end of its 2026 season after canceling the scheduled Michigan finale due to funding issues.
- Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund announced in April it would not continue backing the tour following 2026, forcing officials to seek alternative investors amid unpaid vendor invoices.
- Masters champion Rory McIlroy said on Wednesday it could be a "tough road back" for LIV players returning to the PGA Tour, while Scottie Scheffler said some LIV talent "would provide a lot of value to the Tour."
- Only Brooks Koepka utilized the Returning Member Program before it closed February 2, leaving major champions Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau facing uncertain career paths beyond this season.
- LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil expressed "high confidence" in the league's future, planning a restructured 2027 schedule with 10 events instead of 14, featuring five U.S. tournaments and five international sites.
