Rahm Leads in Mexico as He Goes for 2nd LIV Win This Year
Rahm shot a 4-under 67 and leads Matthew Wolff, Tom McKibbin and Harold Varner III by one stroke amid LIV Golf funding questions.
- On Saturday, Jon Rahm birdied three of his last four holes for a 4-under 67, securing a one-shot lead over teammate Tyrrell Hatton at LIV Golf Mexico held at Chapultepec Golf Club.
- Speculation surfaced on Wednesday that LIV Golf's primary funding source—Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund—faced depletion, raising questions about the league's financial sustainability.
- Money in Sport reported in February that LIV Golf already spent $5.3 billion, with projections to surpass $6 billion by year-end. CEO Scott O'Neil defended the business model in a TNT Sports interview.
- Despite $30 million in prize funds required per tournament, O'Neil projects 10 of the 13 teams and four of the 14 events will become profitable, addressing investor concerns.
- O'Neil stated in a memo that the 2026 season would proceed without interruption and at "full throttle," citing increased ticket sales and team sponsorships as evidence of growth momentum.
