LIV Golf’s CEO Scott O’Neil Now Racing the Clock as He Seeks New Funding
The league has begun an investor roadshow to raise up to $350 million as questions grow over Saudi backing through 2026.
- On Tuesday, LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil addressed reports that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund might withdraw support prematurely, sidestepping a direct guarantee the 2026 season will conclude as planned.
- The Saudi PIF, which has invested an estimated $5 billion since 2022, reportedly plans to cease funding LIV after the current season, prompting urgent external investment efforts.
- Seeking to raise up to $350 million from stakeholders, the organization began an investor roadshow last month, with O'Neil reporting five formal meetings and 18 more planned for this week.
- While the league maintains events in the United Kingdom, New Jersey, Indianapolis, and Michigan, an official with a major partner recently told Front Office Sports that "every remaining tournament is on the fence."
- Future sustainability hinges on securing outside investment, with O'Neil insisting the business remains "disciplined and very, very value-creative" while managing star players like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau.
