Summary

  • Paulina Gretzky posted a yacht-side celebration as reports swirled that LIV Golf has lined up an investor deal that could keep the league afloat.
  • The rumored rescue follows a report that LIV is finalizing more than $250 million in outside funding from multiple firms, though the financing has not been completed.
  • That push for capital came after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund told LIV it would stop bankrolling the circuit beyond 2026, despite having invested more than $5 billion.
  • Gretzky's reaction also spotlights LIV's close ties to players such as her husband Dustin Johnson, a team captain whose form has recently slipped.
