Saudi Arabia to end funding of LIV Golf after this season

What happened: Saudi Arabia has announced it will stop its multi-billion dollar financial support for LIV Golf at the end of the current season. This decision puts the future of the LIV Golf series in uncertainty.

Why it matters:

  • The withdrawal threatens the continuation of the LIV Golf series, affecting players and organisers.
  • It signals a shift in Saudi Arabia's investment in sports, impacting the global golf landscape.

MNN Take: LIV Golf has relied heavily on Saudi funding, so the end of this support raises questions about how the series will sustain itself moving forward.
