Scott O'Neil, chief executive of Saudi-backed LIV Golf, reiterated that the league’s season will run "full throttle" despite rumors that the Public Investment Fund (PIF) might cut support. He said the series is funded through the season and must operate like any private‑equity business.

The breakaway circuit, launched in 2021, has drawn criticism from traditional tours. Earlier this week, reports surfaced that the PIF could end its backing, a fund that has poured $5 bn into the league. O'Neil dismissed the claim, noting the league’s business plan keeps it viable.

Players such as Jon Rahm, who earned £64 m since joining, expressed calm. Rahm said he was "not too worried" and focused on competition, not speculation. Team captains received no formal warning, and events in Mexico City continued without interruption.

LIV Golf’s future remains tied to PIF’s decisions, but the organization’s leadership insists the current season will proceed as scheduled, ensuring continuity for players and sponsors alike.
