Despite recent reports suggesting a potential reduction in Saudi Arabia's financial backing, LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil has reassured staff that the 2026 season will continue as planned. In a memo, O'Neil stated that the season will proceed 'at full throttle,' emphasizing the organization's commitment to its goals. The announcement follows a series of reports indicating that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) may be reevaluating its investment strategy, potentially impacting LIV Golf's funding. However, O'Neil's statement aims to alleviate speculation, focusing on the league's growth and influence.
The situation remains uncertain, with PIF's new five-year investment strategy sparking concerns about the future of LIV Golf. As the league prepares for its upcoming events, players and staff await further clarification on the organization's financial situation.
