Why did Saudis sink $6bn into LIV Golf, only to walk away?

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund invested approximately $6 billion into LIV Golf since its launch, but reports suggest the kingdom may be stepping back from the breakaway series. The move raises questions about the long-term viability of LIV Golf and the motivations behind the initial massive financial commitment. Analysts are examining whether the investment achieved its intended goals of sportswashing and global influence before the apparent withdrawal.
