Dustin Johnson Shrugs Off LIV Funding Cut After $125 Million Payday

Dustin Johnson answered LIV Golf's funding crisis with three words — "Long LIV golf" — when asked in South Korea about the circuit's future after 2026.
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund has ended funding beyond 2026, forcing LIV to seek outside investors to survive into 2027 and beyond.
Johnson, 42 next month, appears insulated from the uncertainty after reportedly receiving $125 million to join LIV, on top of $81 million earned on the PGA Tour.
That contrasts with a more active response from others in the league, including Bryson DeChambeau, who said earlier LIV is pursuing $250 million to $350 million from investors for a 10-event global schedule.
With over a billion dollars in losses, can LIV Golf survive now that its Saudi funding lifeline has been cut?
