The move represents a major shift for the league.

LIV Golf chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan is set to step down amid the withdrawal of Saudi backing for the breakaway tour.

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund is expected to end its multi-billion dollar funding after the current season.

The move represents a major shift for the league, which has relied heavily on that financial support since its launch in 2022.

LIV Golf is now exploring new investors and leadership options as it looks to secure its long-term future.
