Mexico City –
LIV Golf is preparing to make structural changes that “might surprise some people,” CEO Scott O’Neil said Thursday, as the embattled breakaway league scrambles to fend off rumors it could soon collapse without Saudi funding.
Multiple outlets this week reported that Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund will shortly stop bankrolling the divisive league, which has spent billions to lure top golfers away from the traditional PGA and DP World tours.
The league has said its current season will continue “full throttle,” and this week’s Mexico City tournament began Thursday as planned, although coverage was hit with a lengthy broadcast blackout due to local power outages.
