LIV Golf has informed the majority of its workforce that they will be laid off in the first week of September. The layoffs follow the conclusion of the 2026 season in Indiana and occur amid a compressed timeline for new investors.
The staff reductions take place as Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) ends its financial support for the tour. The chief executive is currently working on a deal for new investment, which requires the buy-in of the players.
