There were few details at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, including the identity of the lead investor. And by most accounts, Tuesday\u2019s gathering north of Indianapolis was similarly short on specifics.<\/p>\n
What we know is players met with the lead investor on Tuesday and remain optimistic LIV Golf can continue into next year.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was productive. It was a very good meeting, very positive,\u201d said Martin Kaymer, the captain of Cleeks GC. \u201cThe investor is excited. There are a few things that need to be figured out but I thought it was positive.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s still early to tell what next year will look like, but I think they are working very hard to get more specifics.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kaymer was also asked if he was going to play LIV Golf next year and his response was notably vague. \u201cI can\u2019t say that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Neil\u2019s attempt to convince the lead investor \u2013 who is reported to be BC Partners co-founder and partner Ted Goldthorpe; though, LIV Golf has not announced the investor\u2019s identity \u2013 that the current crop of players is on board for the league\u2019s next chapter, is likely crucial to any potential deal.<\/p>\n
According to various reports, Jon Rahm does not intend to stay with LIV Golf beyond this season, but Bryson DeChambeau, the league\u2019s biggest draw, has been supportive of O\u2019Neil\u2019s effort both in public and private.<\/p>\n
\u201cTalking with our investor, he just has great vision for what we want to do and how to move this thing forward,\u201d Brendan Steele said following the meeting, which lasted nearly an hour. \u201cThere aren\u2019t a ton of specifics I can share with you but I think getting the players to be comfortable with how we want to move forward is the most important thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Steele was also asked if he planned to remain with LIV Golf. \u201cI\u2019m committed to being here,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is where I want to be. This has been home to me for the last four years, it\u2019s been great. I\u2019m happy to stay.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sergio Garcia did not appear to be as committed as Steele to LIV Golf 2.0. When asked his \u201cfuture\u201d with LIV he said, \u201cWe\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n
Saudi Arabia\u2019s Public Investment Fund withdrew its funding of LIV Golf in April and the league has struggled to close out the season, cancelling the team championship as well as an event that was scheduled to be played in New Orleans.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Neil is scheduled to speak with the media at 1 p.m. ET on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
