Rory McIlroy : "LIV Players Were Blindsided By PIF Pulling Funding!" 📉

The end of the LIV Golf experiment? Rory McIlroy has just dropped a bombshell ahead of the 2026 US PGA Championship at Aronimink. Rory reveals that he heard rumors of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) withdrawing its financial backing weeks before it became official—and claims the LIV stars were completely "blindsided" by the news.

In this video, we break down Rory’s comments on why the "rug was pulled" from under players like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau. With over $5 Billion spent and no profit in sight, the PIF is officially exiting at the end of the 2026 season. We discuss the "geopolitical risks" Rory warned about and what this means for the future of professional golf.

For those on the journey to Scratch at 50, Rory’s perspective on "risk vs. reward" in the professional game is a fascinating look at the business of golf. Is this the moment the PGA Tour finally wins the war?
