LIV Golf chiefs are set to inform players by Thursday that Saudi Arabia will no longer fund the rebel tour after this season, according to reports.

The Daily Mail first reported on April 17 that multiple players and agents on the tour believe Saudi’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) will only continue bankrolling it until the conclusion of the 2026 campaign in Michigan on August 30.

And now The Wall Street Journal claims LIV has officially lost PIF funding, with players and staff to be delivered the bad news by Thursday.

Earlier this month, LIV Golf chief Scott O’Neill said the league has funding until the end of the season, but offered no guarantees on its survival beyond that.

‘The reality is that you’re funded through the season, and then you work like crazy as a business to create a business and a business plan to keep us going,’ O’Neill told TNT Sports at LIV’s recent tournament in Mexico.

‘But that’s not different from any other private equity-funded business in the history of mankind.’
