LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil says the league is hopeful it can “do right by” vendors suing it over alleged missed payments, as the dispute remains in court. O’Neil made the comments while addressing a $1.2 million lawsuit filed by a media company that alleges unpaid vendor bills tied to work conducted during LIV Golf media days.
According to outlets, O’Neil characterizes the situation as something the league is actively trying to resolve. Fox News reports he says he “hopes” LIV Golf can pay the plaintiff, while the New York Post frames his remarks as the league “doing everything we can” regarding vendor and contractor payment issues.
The coverage centers on LIV Golf’s response to the allegations rather than on the merits of the claims. Across both reports, the common points are that vendors are challenging LIV Golf over payment issues, and O’Neil publicly signals an intent to address the dispute and make payments associated with the vendors’ work.
