Sports Business Journal has reported that Yasir Al-Rumayyan is resigning as chairman of LIV Golf. Al-Rumayyan is the governor of the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia and the man behind the creation of LIV Golf. Even with Greg Norman as the first CEO, it was Al-Rumayyan who was the face of the league. He also was the one who signed a framework agreement with the PGA Tour that ultimately only ended lawsuits. His resignation comes at a time when LIV Golf plans to announce its strategy going forward without Saudi funding. That includes a new board of directors.
