LIV Golf funding uncertainty

While O'Neil claimed it is 'business as usual' for the current season in Mexico City, he offered no tangible guarantees regarding future funding from the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF).

Some players have expressed concern that the tour's demise could be imminent, while others remain bullish on its business model.

The league is also facing a new lawsuit from a former rival, adding to its mounting legal and financial troubles.

This shift in Saudi strategy may signal a move away from golf toward other sports like cricket and soccer.
