LIV Golf funding to end
During a live broadcast from the LIV Golf Mexico tournament, O'Neil rejected claims that the league is close to collapse but admitted that 'structural changes' are imminent.
The Saudi-backed PIF is reportedly undergoing a 'value realization' phase, shifting its focus toward other sports and domestic priorities amid the economic pressures of the Iran war.
This development has left high-profile players like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau facing an uncertain future as the tour's long-term viability remains unproven.
Meanwhile, a former Ryder Cup captain has urged the PGA Tour to remain loyal to those who did not defect, further complicating potential merger discussions.
