LIV Players Meet Amid Murky Outlook for Tour
Players discussed LIV Golf’s next steps as funding uncertainty grows and the $40 million Team Championship remains unconfirmed.
- On Tuesday at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, Bryson DeChambeau led a players-only meeting to address LIV Golf's uncertain future, following separate sessions where CEO Scott O'Neil and executives briefed team captains.
- Since Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund announced in April it would cease funding after 2026, the league suffered multiple setbacks: LIV New Orleans was postponed, the Asian Tour partnered with the PGA Tour alliance, and Mobii ended its streaming deal.
- Multiple outlets including the Wall Street Journal report the league may cancel its $40 million Team Championship slated for August 27-30 in Michigan, with the scheduled venue showing no physical preparation.
- Richard Bland, English golfer, told reporters the next two to three weeks are critical, stating "We're fully backing Scott," while Abraham Ancer, Torque GC player, described the meeting as "positive" after reviewing next year's business plan.
- O'Neil, scheduled to address media Wednesday at 10 a.m., reportedly has secured commitments from anchor investors for a financing syndicate, though Cameron Smith acknowledged he would "100 percent" return to the PGA Tour if LIV folds.
