LIV Golf CEO refuses to guarantee circuit's remaining events will go on as scheduled with awkward sales pitch
LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil refused to confirm whether the remaining four 2026 season events will proceed as scheduled, despite Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) reports of potential funding cuts. A PIF partner described the events as 'on the fence,' while O'Neil evaded direct answers during a CNBC interview, instead promoting investment opportunities. The PIF has invested over $6 billion in LIV Golf since 2021 but has not seen a return, leading to the funding cutoff after 2026.
