LIV Golf's CEO, Scott O'Neil, has alleviated fears about the series' funding, stating that it is secure for the current season and that the organization will work diligently to ensure its continuation. The breakaway golf league, backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, has been at the center of speculation regarding its financial future, with reports suggesting that the PIF may withdraw its support. O'Neil's comments come after LIV team captain Sergio Garcia alluded to funding being in place until 2030, although Garcia himself noted that he could not provide any further information. O'Neil emphasized that the league's funding is secured for the season and that it will focus on creating a sustainable business plan to ensure its long-term viability.
The PIF has not commented on the matter, and O'Neil's reassurances were made despite reports of an 'emergency meeting' in New York and claims that the PIF is reviewing its investments. Some LIV Golf players, including Jon Rahm, have expressed confidence in the league's future, with Rahm stating that he is 'not too worried' about the rumors surrounding LIV's funding.
