Reports surfaced yesterday that the PIF is <\/strong>poised to cut funding<\/strong> for LIV Golf<\/strong>, coinciding with updates regarding the sovereign wealth fund\u2019s new five-year strategy. The New York Times<\/a>, the Financial Times<\/a> (FT), and the Wall Street Journal<\/a> all ran stories on the development, citing unnamed sources familiar with the decision. The Daily Telegraph<\/a> first came out with reports yesterday that LIV Golf executives attended \u201can emergency summit,\u201d without disclosing the reason behind it. An official verdict on the upstart league\u2019s fate could come as soon as today, the FT reported. <\/p>\n

Another report says otherwise: <\/strong>A report contradicting the news claims that LIV Golf\u2019s upcoming 2026 season remains on schedule \u2014 complete with PIF\u2019s full backing, Reuters<\/a> reported early this morning, citing another unnamed source. <\/p>\n

Why this matters: <\/strong>Pulling the plug on what was a significant part of PIF\u2019s global positioning would speak volumes to Saudi Arabia\u2019s recent recalibration of priorities, prompted by the outbreak of the US-Iran war. This could signal a redirection of Riyadh\u2019s capital from more speculative ventures toward housing and infrastructure \u2014 priorities with the looming deadline of Vision2030.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
