LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil has downplayed concerns over the series' funding, stating that it is 'funded through the season' and that the organization will 'work tirelessly' to ensure its continuation. The comments come amid speculation that the Saudi Public Investment Fund, which backs the breakaway golf league, may withdraw its financial support. The league, which was launched in 2021 as a rival to the PGA Tour and DP World Tour, has reportedly received nearly $5 billion in funding since its inception. O'Neil's remarks were in response to comments made by LIV team captain Sergio Garcia, who alluded to funding being in place until 2030.
Despite the speculation, O'Neil emphasized that the series will continue as planned, with a focus on creating a sustainable business model. The Saudi Public Investment Fund has not commented on the matter, and no official decision has been made regarding the continuation of funding. The situation has left some LIV Golf players seeking reassurance, although others, such as Jon Rahm, have expressed confidence in the league's future.
