In a surprising revelation, golf superstar Rory McIlroy has cast doubt on the future of the LIV Golf tour, which has been backed by a significant investment from Saudi Arabia. Just weeks after claiming his second consecutive Masters title in April, McIlroy expressed his concerns that the Saudi funding, which has been a key factor in the tour's existence, may be drying up. The LIV Golf tour has been a contentious issue in the golf world, with many top players joining the breakaway series despite criticism over its ties to the Saudi government. McIlroy's comments have sparked speculation about the long-term viability of the tour, and what this might mean for the future of professional golf.


McIlroy, fresh off winning his second consecutive Masters in April, said he thought “it was always a possibility’’ that the Saudi investment in LIV would dry up.
