LIV Golf Secures Lead Investor to Continue Without Saudi Funding
LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil announced a new lead investor agreement that will enable the league to continue without Saudi funding, making players major equity holders. Details about the investor and funding amount remain undisclosed. The league faces uncertainty after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund announced withdrawal of support post-2026, leading to event cancellations and doubts about the season-ending tournament. LIV Golf, launched in 2022, has invested over $5 billion, including large bonuses to top players, and is exploring minority investors to sustain operations.
