Garcia Addresses LIV Golf Shutdown Rumors, Says Players Will Only Listen to Official Statements
Sergio Garcia has stated that LIV Golf players will only listen to official statements from the league's chairman, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, amid rumors of a potential shutdown. Garcia's comments come as LIV Golf faces speculation about its future, with reports suggesting that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund may be reconsidering its investment in the league. The Daily Telegraph reported that LIV Golf executives had been summoned to an emergency meeting in New York, while the Financial Times stated that the PIF was on the verge of cutting its support. However, Garcia emphasized that players would only pay attention to official announcements from Al-Rumayyan, who had assured them of his support at the start of the year. The situation has caused confusion among LIV's players, who are seeking reassurances about the league's future. Meanwhile, Sky Sports News chief correspondent Kaveh Solhekol believes that Saudi Arabia is reevaluating its investment strategy in sports, with a focus on more sensible and business-oriented decisions.
