"There are players who would love a strong global platform to play on and countries and fans who want us back. Some players will stay, some may go."As for me, I may stay or take some time off. I genuinely haven’t decided yet."Show MoreShow LessLIV Golf wrapped up its season a week earlier than planned and this month said it had secured a lead investor that will provide a funding boost as it prepares for a future without backing from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.While LIV Golf has signed a term sheet with a lead investor that would fund the league in 2027, it is a non-binding agreement and has not been finalised.Poulter has never won an individual or team title with LIV but does have 17 career professional wins, including three on the PGA Tour.He was among a handful of big names that took lucrative, big-money contracts in 2022 to make the switch to LIV from the established tours and defended his decision."LIV gave me a significant opportunity late in my career and I took it," said Poulter. "People make career decisions every day based on opportunity, family and financial security. Professional sport is no different."Source: ReutersNewsletterRecommended ReadSubscribe to CNA's Recommended ReadA single handpicked story that we think you shouldn't miss.
