Although LIV is backed by the virtually limitless resources of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, the stream of those resources to LIV apparently isn’t limitless. The Fire Pit noted the newly cost-conscious approaches to daily tour life, from travel expense cutbacks to small amenities like snacks.
LIV's primary problem now is that many of its biggest draws – Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Cam Smith, Patrick Reed – have. Johnson and Koepka won events last year, but are currently ranked 11th and 36th, respectively, on LIV's points list. DeChambeau is 18th, Mickelson 39th.
