Despite rumors swirling about the financial future of LIV Golf, Jon Rahm, one of the tour's top players, claims he is not overly concerned. The speculation began when Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, the primary backer of LIV Golf, unveiled a new five-year investment strategy that made no mention of continued funding for the breakaway league. However, Rahm insists that until he receives confirmation from those in charge, he will not waste time worrying about the rumors.

Rahm's comments came after he shot a 65 in the LIV Mexico tournament, placing him second behind Victor Perez. LIV Golf executives were reportedly summoned to an emergency meeting in New York, and there are concerns among players about the tour's future.

The Daily Telegraph reported that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund may be on the verge of cutting its support for LIV Golf, although no final decision has been made. LIV Golf has already spent $5.3 billion and is projected to surpass $6 billion by the end of the year. The tour's CEO, Scott O'Neil, is adamant that LIV Golf is a viable business and will continue to evolve and grow.

He pointed to the tour's success in securing big-name sponsors like Rolex and HSBC, and its ability to put on a show and grow the game of golf. O'Neil also hinted that LIV Golf may look to blend its format with national opens around the world, which he believes are underappreciated and underdeveloped assets in golf. The emergence of LIV Golf has contributed to a division within professional golf, with some top players defecting to the breakaway tour.

However, O'Neil believes that LIV Golf's survival is good for the game, as it provides more opportunities for players and creates a more competitive landscape. Sky Sports News chief correspondent Kaveh Solhekol noted that Saudi Arabia is rethinking its investment strategy and may be looking to scale back its support for sports ventures like LIV Golf.

Solhekol believes that Saudi Arabia wants to see a return on its investment and will be more selective in its future dealings.
