LIV Golf lays off majority of staff as discussions continue to secure fresh investment and 'make LIV 2.0 a reality'

LIV Golf has confirmed they will cut most of their staff from next week, with talks ongoing to secure their long-term future.

Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund [PIF] elected to end their funding after the conclusion of the 2026 season, with LIV Golf forced to reduce staffing levels regardless of whether they can finalise any potential transactions to continue.

The league informed 'the majority of its workforce' this week that their employment under LIV 1.0 will conclude early next month, having previously warned staff of potential redundancies in July.

No final decision has been made on the staffing levels required for any future version of LIV Golf, with the league - previously home to over 300 staff globally - still hopeful that some can return should the new iteration materialise.
