STERLING, Va. — Now that the Public Investment Fund is stepping away from the LIV Golf League, one of its most affable players wonders if no longer being associated with Saudi Arabia will help the controversial circuit encounter more friendly terrain in its quest to gain viability.
Graeme McDowell, 46, the 2010 U.S. Open champion who joined LIV in 2022 and endured considerable backlash, including in his native Northern Ireland, said Tuesday at Trump National D.C. that the PIF’s decision to halt funding of the league came as a surprise and leads to understandable questions about its future.
