LIV Golf Funding Uncertainty

LIV Golf Funding Uncertainty

LIV CEO Scott O'Neil admitted in a recently deleted interview that while the league is funded through the current season, significant work is required to ensure its long-term viability.

Star player Jon Rahm has brushed off concerns, stating he is focused on his performance rather than the circuit's financial backing.

The uncertainty comes as the PGA Tour and PIF continue to negotiate a potential merger.

Critics suggest the upstart league could join a growing list of projects the fund has decided to scale back amid a shift in strategic priorities.
