LIV Golf Funding Crisis Deepens
While O'Neil insisted it is 'business as usual' and that structural changes are underway to raise more capital, reports suggest the PIF is undergoing a 'value realization' of its sports investments.
High-profile players like Jon Rahm have expressed calm about the situation, but the lack of long-term financial guarantees has rattled the professional golf world.
The league is also facing a new lawsuit from a former competitor, adding to its mounting legal and financial woes.
Speculation is growing that the Saudi crown prince's interest in 'sportswashing' may be shifting away from golf toward other global priorities.
