Is this the end for LIV? Where does Saudi withdrawal leave golf and the players?

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) has confirmed it will cease funding the LIV Golf tour, raising serious questions about the competition's future viability. The withdrawal has major implications for high-profile players such as Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Lee Westwood, who left traditional golf circuits to join LIV. The tour is now seeking alternative backers, while the broader golf landscape faces uncertainty over how these players and the rebel circuit will be reintegrated or dissolved.
