Trump's take from hosting Saudi-backed LIV Golf events detailed
Reporting detailed how much Trump National golf properties have collected for hosting Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournaments, finding the sums modest relative to the league's overall spending.
What happened
A single LIV event was estimated to generate around $800,000-$950,000 for the host Trump property; across roughly seven hosted events since 2022, Trump's cumulative take was estimated at several million dollars. Overlaps with golf-property revenue, so not counted again.
Why it matters
A Saudi-state-backed golf league whose creation and funding Trump publicly championed continues paying his golf properties hosting fees, though the figures show the relationship is more about proximity and legitimacy than large direct payments.
