LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil addressed the future of the tour during a CNBC appearance, stating the circuit could reach profitability in three years if new investment is secured. As Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund plans to withdraw by year-end, O’Neil seeks a $350 million investment and emphasized the importance of financial stability for the league's continued existence. He confirmed ongoing support from players like Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm, who remains committed despite uncertainties. O’Neil's answers about the schedule for the remaining events in 2026 were non-committal, with the next event set for July 23-26 in England.
