LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil has reassured staff that the 2026 season will continue as planned, despite reports of potential financial backing cuts from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund. In a memo, O'Neil stated that the season will proceed 'at full throttle,' while acknowledging the speculation surrounding the league's financial future. The memo follows reports of an 'emergency meeting' in New York and speculation that the Public Investment Fund (PIF) may be reconsidering its support for LIV Golf. The league has already spent $5.3 billion and is projected to surpass $6 billion by the end of the year.
Despite the uncertainty, LIV Golf has promoted its upcoming event in Mexico, with CEO O'Neil emphasizing the organization's resilience and commitment to disrupting the status quo in professional golf.
