LIV Golf seeks $300 million in new funding amid uncertainty

Summary

LIV Golf's CEO Scott O'Neil is urgently seeking $300 million from investors to support the league through 2027 and beyond. With only 46 days between events, O'Neil indicated that this period is critical due to the Saudi Arabian investment fund ceasing financial support after spending $6 billion since 2022. He has had five formal meetings and plans eighteen more, aiming for a restructured, financially disciplined business model. LIV Golf's future events may be at risk without this funding, and the league plans to engage players as equity partners to ensure stability moving forward.
