LIV Golf Scrambles for New Capital Amid Saudi Funding Uncertainty
LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil is urging stakeholders to trust the Public Investment Fund’s (PIF) commitment to the current season, despite growing speculation that the Saudi-backed fund may withdraw support earlier than the 2026 deadline. With PIF Chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan stepping down from his role at LIV, the league has launched an urgent investor roadshow seeking to raise $350 million to ensure future operations. O'Neil remains optimistic, reporting positive feedback from initial funding meetings and emphasizing the league’s long-term value proposition. However, he acknowledged the need for "disciplined" financial management as the organization races to secure new capital before the current funding runway expires. The CEO maintains that the league is "full steam ahead" while actively pivoting toward a more sustainable, independent business model. #BRUSDT
