LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil Wouldn’t Guarantee Its Season Will Finish as Scheduled

LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil went on CNBC on Tuesday and wouldn’t guarantee the rest of the league’s season would be played as scheduled.

On Sunday, Front Office Sports reported that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund could pull its funding at any moment. This comes a little over a month after the Wall Street Journal reported that the PIF planned to fund LIV through the end of its 2026 season.

“Every remaining tournament is on the fence. I truly don’t think anyone knows. LIV Golf doesn’t know if or when the PIF will shut off the spigot,” a high-ranking executive at one of the league’s major league-level partners told Front Office Sports.

When asked if he could guarantee LIV’s remaining four events would be played, O’Neil made a pitch to potential investors instead. “What I can guarantee is a heck of a return if you come invest in this business,” O’Neil said with a smile on his face.

I think that short clip summarizes why the majority of golf fans root against LIV Golf. The smugness is never ending, the unearned arrogance is suffocating, and the constant denial is repulsive.

We’ll see how this all unfolds, but things continue to look bleaker and bleaker for O’Neil and LIV.
