Despite speculation surrounding the financial stability of LIV Golf, one of its top players, Jon Rahm, has expressed his lack of concern regarding the breakaway league's future. Recent rumors suggest that LIV could lose its funding from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, but Rahm remains unfazed. The golfer stated that he wasn't "too worried" about the situation, adding that he wouldn't waste time thinking about it until he receives confirmation from those in charge.
Rahm's comments came after LIV Golf's latest event in Mexico, which experienced technical difficulties due to local power outages. The tournament's CEO, Scott O'Neil, has also downplayed the rumors, stating that the business is on track to be successful in the long run. O'Neil pointed to the circuit's revenue growth and sponsorship deals with major brands like Rolex and HSBC.
However, some reports suggest that LIV Golf has already spent $5.3 billion and is projected to surpass $6 billion by the end of the year. The league's future remains uncertain, but Rahm and O'Neil seem confident in its ability to thrive.
