Amid speculation surrounding the future of LIV Golf, Sergio Garcia has stated that he and other players will only consider official statements from LIV Golf Chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan. Garcia's comments came ahead of the latest LIV Golf event in Mexico City, where rumors have been circulating about the league's potential shutdown. The Daily Telegraph reported that LIV Golf executives were summoned to an emergency meeting in New York, while the Financial Times suggested that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which funds LIV Golf, may be reconsidering its support.
However, Garcia emphasized that players have been assured of the league's long-term plans and will not be swayed by speculation. 'Honestly, we aren't going to listen to anything except for what Yasir told us at the start of the year, that he is behind us, that they have a project for many years,' Garcia said. The situation has caused confusion among LIV Golf players, who are seeking reassurance about the league's future. Meanwhile, Sky Sports News chief correspondent Kaveh Solhekol believes that Saudi Arabia is reevaluating its investment in sports, including LIV Golf, and will adopt a more business-oriented approach to its investments.
LIV Golf has been a topic of discussion in the golf world since its launch in 2021, with some notable players defecting from the PGA Tour and DP World Tour to join the breakaway league.
