LIV Golf Faces Funding Uncertainty
The Saudi-backed league, which spent over $1 billion to recruit top talent from the PGA Tour, is reportedly facing a strategic review as the kingdom reevaluates its financial priorities.
While CEO Scott O'Neil issued a memo to staff claiming the season would continue 'at full throttle,' internal reports suggest top executives are already seeking new employment.
The tour has struggled with stagnant television ratings and a failure to secure significant new star signings in recent months.
Saudi officials are said to be prioritizing other global commitments, including the 2034 FIFA World Cup, over the loss-making golf venture.
