LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil announced that the league has signed a new lead investor to support future operations. The investor's identity and the amount committed are undisclosed as LIV plans to transition to a model where players will hold majority equity. This comes after the Saudi Public Investment Fund decided to cease funding LIV after the 2026 season, during which they spent approximately $6 billion since 2022. LIV is set to host its next event at Trump Bedminster beginning Thursday, with a plan for a leaner 2027 schedule featuring 10 events across five continents. Details on funding for the canceled $40 million team championship remain uncertain.
