LIV Golf has been in limbo since its summer break that lasted more than 40 days. This extended period has given the league additional time to attract potential investors who have expressed interest but are hesitant due to concerns about the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), which is linked to the kingdom's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman [1].
