LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil won’t guarantee that the league’s final four events of the 2026 season will take place.
After Front Office Sports reported Sunday that there is a growing sentiment among those in and around LIV that the funding from Saudi PIF could dry up even earlier than expected, O’Neil appeared on CNBC’s Halftime Report Tuesday.
Show host Scott Wapner asked: “Can you guarantee today that the four remaining tournaments on your schedule will actually take place?” O’Neil responded: “What I can guarantee is a heck of a return if you come invest in this business.”
The PIF in April said it would fund LIV through the end of this season, which concludes in August. There is a 47-day break between LIV’s latest event in Spain, which concluded Sunday, and its next tournament in the U.K. that begins July 23.
“I can say they’ve been terrific partners so far, and you have to take an incredible organization like PIF at their word—and they’ve been very public about funding us through the season,” O’Neil said Tuesday.
