Global giants that pose a threat to Yasir Al-Rumayyan’s master plan

There are various global giants that are posing a threat to the $3 billion-dollar master plan of Yasir Al-Rumayyan. As the PGA Tour has pivoted away from LIV Golf, several others have shown interest in stepping into the place of the Saudi Backed Golf League.

The top contender for its spot is FSG, or Fenway Sports Group, which is associated with the prominent Liverpool Football Club. The group is one of the frontrunners when it comes to owning prominent sports franchises. FSG’s entry into the golfing world could pose a formidable challenge for LIV.

Eldridge Industries is another name on the list. With their ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers and involvement in the acquisition of Chelsea Football Club, the company could bring a wealth of experience in major sports ventures to the golfing world should they choose to step into this world.
