LIV Golf players may find contracts voided as funding withdraws

Summary

LIV Golf faces significant challenges as Saudi Arabia's PIF plans to withdraw funding at the end of the 2026 season. Amid speculation about the future of the league, player agents suggest that many contracts may be voided, allowing players to seek opportunities elsewhere, including returns to the PGA Tour. Bryson DeChambeau's contract is set to expire at season's end, while Jon Rahm has more time on his deal. Golf writer Alan Shipnuck indicates that players feel they can leave if they choose, a situation that may lead to further legal considerations for LIV Golf.

What they're saying

"
LIV Golf as we know it is finished, for now at least. Sure, they may well be another version of LIV Golf next season and beyond, but it almost certainly will not operate on the same level financially as years gone by.
