Overview

• Golf Digest reporting says representatives for two recent PGA Tour winners are in discussions about joining LIV during its customary fall recruitment window.
• The potential moves involve recognizable but not marquee names, with Jon Rahm still the only major star to have defected in recent years.
• LIV remains backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, described as having deep resources, despite reports that the league has accumulated losses nearing $1.1 billion.
• Coverage cites alleged gag clauses in LIV contracts and notes fresh backlash against Saudi-funded comedy events as warnings about reputational risk.
• Even modest departures could reignite questions about the sport’s direction and increase pressure on Rolapp as efforts toward a broader resolution remain stalled.
