Australians are among potential investors in LIV Golf, with Cameron Smith playing a key role in sourcing financial saviours for the breakaway league.
LIV Golf's chief executive Scott O'Neil says unnamed "prominent" Australians are flagging interest in investing when Saudi Arabia ends its funding.
O'Neil and LIV hierarchy are seeking about $US300 million ($A425 million) investment for the league to continue beyond this season.
"We are very tapped in and wired in to the Australian business community and those who might be interested," O'Neil told AAP on Friday.
"Yes, we're having some ongoing dialogue with some prominent Australians."
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund will stop funding LIV Golf at the end of the season.
Some reports suggest the funding could soon stop, casting doubt on whether LIV's four remaining tournaments this year will proceed.
