Amidst reports of potential financial backing withdrawal, LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil has reassured staff that the 2026 season will continue as planned without interruption. The memo comes after a day of speculation regarding Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund potentially cutting its financial support for the league. Despite the uncertainty, O'Neil emphasized that the season will proceed 'at full throttle,' with the organization remaining committed to its goals. The situation has sparked confusion among players, who are seeking reassurances about the league's future.
The LIV Golf tour has already spent $5.3 billion and is projected to surpass $6 billion by the end of the year, raising questions about the sustainability of its funding model. The league's future remains uncertain, with some players, such as Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed, having already left to join other tours.
As the situation continues to unfold, LIV Golf remains focused on its mission to disrupt the status quo in professional golf.
