Garcia Addresses LIV Golf Shutdown Rumors

Sergio Garcia has refused to comment on speculation surrounding the future of LIV Golf, stating that players will only listen to information provided by Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the chairman of LIV Golf. This comes amid reports of an emergency meeting between LIV Golf executives and the possibility of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund withdrawing its support. Garcia emphasized that there are always rumors and he cannot reveal anything beyond what the players already know. The situation has caused confusion among LIV's players, who are seeking reassurances. Meanwhile, team captains, including Garcia, have not been informed of any imminent announcements. The Golf Channel's Rich Lerner reported that pairings for the first round of LIV Golf Mexico have been released, but players are still awaiting news on their fate. Sky Sports News chief correspondent Kaveh Solhekol believes that Saudi Arabia is reevaluating its investment in sports, including LIV Golf, and will prioritize investments with a clear business rationale.
