LIV Golf’s CEO, Scott O’Neil, says the breakaway tour has secured a lead investor to help keep the league operating beyond the 2026 season, into 2027 and beyond. Multiple outlets report that O’Neil confirmed the investment as speculation continues after earlier financial support from Saudi backers was withdrawn earlier this year. O’Neil does not identify the investor publicly and, according to one report, does not disclose either the investor’s name or the size of the investment.
Several sources also say the investment structure changes the players’ role in the business. In particular, LIV Golf players are expected to become majority equity holders in the league under what O’Neil describes as a multi-partner model. The reports differ in how specific they are about the investment’s figures, with at least one outlet citing a confirmed cash influx amount. However, all accounts attribute the update to O’Neil and place emphasis on extending LIV’s timeline and shifting equity toward the players.
