LIV Golf shutdown rumors

A leaked internal email from O'Neil intended to calm staff instead raised fresh doubts among fans who noted inconsistencies in his message.

LIV's Mexico City broadcast was also plagued by technical issues, which critics used to further question the league's long-term viability.

While O'Neil maintains the 2026 season will continue 'full throttle,' some analysts believe the PGA Tour is already preparing for a potential reunion with top stars.

The uncertainty comes as Saudi Arabia reportedly looks to prioritize financial returns over cultural influence in its sports investments.
