Martin Kaymer has revealed there is growing uncertainty over LIV Golf's future, admitting players do not know whether the breakaway circuit will continue into 2027 as organisers search for fresh investment.
The two-time major champion also said this year's LIV Golf Team Championship is now unlikely to take place, adding to the challenges facing the Saudi-backed series.
LIV Golf Team Championship in doubt
LIV Golf is looking to secure around $350 million in new investment after Saudi Arabia decided to end its financial backing following three seasons in which more than £3.75 billion was invested in the league.
While this week's tournament at JCB Club in Staffordshire and the following events in New York and Indianapolis are expected to go ahead, Kaymer suggested the planned Team Championship in Michigan is now in serious doubt.
"I know that Indianapolis is most likely happening," said the Cleeks captain.
"There was a conversation on Wednesday: Michigan, highly unlikely. According to Wednesday, it didn't look good.
"We were hoping for a bit more information. We got the information, but we were more looking for decisions or what is happening next year.
"Unfortunately, even Scott can't tell us because he doesn't know. It depends so much on the investors."
Players waiting on LIV Golf investment decision
Kaymer admitted LIV's players are still waiting for clarity over LIV Golf's long-term future.
"Hopefully, I think there's a lot of interest and it's looking good," he said.
"But we've all been there. If the signature is not there, then it doesn't mean anything.
"If those investors decide to pull out then we don't play next year on LIV Golf.
"And if they decide to do it, then we have a chance."
The uncertainty comes just days after LIV Golf suffered another setback when the PGA Tour and DP World Tour announced a new alliance with the Asian Tour, ending a partnership that had previously helped support LIV's global ambitions.
LIV had hoped to integrate several Asian Tour events into its future schedule, making the agreement a significant blow to those plans.
The league has also agreed to settle a trademark infringement lawsuit brought by Ohio-based golf tee manufacturer Stinger Golf, adding another off-course issue during a turbulent period for the circuit.
