LIV Golf seeks $250M from investors after Saudi funding withdrawal

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

LIV Golf is seeking to raise up to $250 million from new investors to ensure its continued operation after the Saudi Public Investment Fund withdrew its support. The league, launched in 2022 as a rival to the PGA Tour, aims to achieve profitability within approximately 20 months with the new funding. If the full amount cannot be secured, LIV Golf plans to raise at least $150 million and rely on increasing team values and a new media rights deal. The league is targeting private equity firms, family offices, and individual billionaires as potential investors. AI
