LIV Golf funding to end in August

O'Neil insisted that the league is operating as 'business as usual' but acknowledged that structural changes are coming that may require raising outside capital.

Industry experts suggest the Saudi fund is undergoing a 'value realization' phase, potentially making the expensive golf project expendable.
