Despite rumors surrounding the financial future of LIV Golf, Jon Rahm expressed his lack of concern, stating that he wasn't overly worried about the situation. The golfer's comments came after it was reported that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, the primary backer of LIV Golf, had unveiled a new five-year investment strategy without mentioning any future funding for the breakaway league.
Rahm, one of the biggest stars of LIV Golf, said that until he receives confirmation from those in charge, he won't waste time thinking about the rumors. The latest event, LIV Mexico, kicked off at Club de Golf Chapultepec in Mexico City, with Rahm shooting a round of 65 to place second.
LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil sought to alleviate concerns, stating that the circuit is on track to become a successful business in the long term, citing significant sponsorship deals with major brands like Rolex and HSBC. O'Neil also mentioned plans to evolve the business, potentially incorporating national opens into the format. The future of LIV Golf remains uncertain, with some players seeking reassurances amid reports of potential funding cuts. The league, which launched in 2021, has already spent a substantial amount, with projections suggesting it could surpass $6 billion by the end of the year.
