Ian Poulter remains undecided about continuing with LIV Golf next season but hopes the league survives amid financial uncertainty. The five-time Ryder Cup champion, who joined the Saudi-backed circuit in 2022 alongside Lee Westwood, posted on Instagram after the 2026 season finale in Indianapolis that he was "proud" of LIV's achievements but acknowledged the "final phase has been tough." He expressed concern for businesses and suppliers still owed money, urging those situations be resolved quickly. "It would be a real shame if LIV 2.0 doesn't happen," Poulter said, noting some players will stay while others may leave. He defended his decision to join LIV, citing financial opportunity late in his career.

After paying fines, Poulter and Westwood will return to the DP World Tour in October for the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. Uncertainty persists after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) withdrew funding, though CEO Scott O'Neil announced an unnamed new lead investor with a term sheet signed. The scheduled Team Championship in Michigan was cancelled, raising further doubts.

Bryson DeChambeau hinted at "something fun coming" while Rory McIlroy warned of a "tough road back" for LIV players eyeing PGA Tour returns.
