The 2026 LIV Golf season has been anything but predictable. Ahead of the event in Mexico City earlier this month, rumors emerged suggesting the tour was set to abruptly close after losing future funding from the Saudi Public Investment Fund.
Shortly after, LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil revealed the league was fully funded through the rest of the 2026 season. "The reality is you're funded through the season and then you work like crazy as a business to create a business and a business plan to keep us going," he said at the time. "But that's not different from any other private equity-funded business in the history of man." While the league claimed to be fully funded, it was forced to postpone an event in Louisiana, which the league said was a "strategic decision" with a plan to host the tournament later in the fall.
