Despite recent reports suggesting a potential reduction in financial backing from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil has confirmed that the 2026 season will continue as planned without interruption. In a memo to staff, O'Neil stated that the league will move forward 'at full throttle,' emphasizing the organization's commitment to its mission. The announcement comes amid speculation about the league's financial future, with some reports indicating that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund may be reconsidering its investment strategy.
However, O'Neil's statement aims to quell these rumors, assuring that the season will proceed as scheduled. The LIV Golf league, which launched in 2022, has been a subject of interest in the golf world, with several high-profile players joining the tour. The league's future funding remains uncertain, but O'Neil's statement suggests that the organization is committed to its goals and will continue to move forward despite any challenges.
