LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil has reassured staff that the 2026 season will continue as planned, despite reports suggesting Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund may be reconsidering its financial backing. In a memo, O'Neil stated that the season will proceed 'at full throttle' and without interruption, citing the organization's growth and influence. The memo follows a day of reports indicating that LIV Golf executives had been summoned to an emergency meeting in New York, with some speculating that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) may be on the verge of cutting its support.
However, O'Neil's statement aims to quell speculation, emphasizing the league's focus on the upcoming schedule and its commitment to disrupting the status quo in professional golf.
