LIV Golf is seeking to raise up to $250 million from new investors after losing support from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. The league plans to share its fundraising plan with players and will be managed by Ducera Partners. LIV aims to reach profitability within 20 months if it secures the full investment.

LIV Golf's New Orleans event, scheduled for late June, has been canceled, raising concerns about the league's financial stability. CEO Scott O’Neil previously vowed the 2026 season would continue 'full throttle,' but the Saudi-backed Public Investment Fund will end its financial support after 2026, forcing LIV to seek new funding. The cancellation disrupts the summer schedule and highlights uncertainty about the league's future.
