LIV Golf Players Told League Would Run 'Many Years' as Collapse Rumors Swirl
Sergio Garcia says LIV Golf officials told players earlier this year the Saudi-backed golf league would run for 'many years.' His comments come as rumors spread that the controversial tour is close to shutting down.
Professional golfer Sergio Garcia says LIV Golf officials assured players earlier this year that the Saudi-backed league would continue for 'many years.' Garcia made the comments ahead of this week's LIV event in Mexico as speculation grows about the tour's future.
Rumors have been swirling since Tuesday that the controversial golf league is on the verge of collapse. The speculation has created confusion among players and fans about what comes next for the tour that launched in 2022.
LIV Golf was created with billions in Saudi Arabian funding and lured away top players from the PGA Tour with massive signing bonuses. The league has been controversial from the start due to Saudi Arabia's human rights record and has struggled to gain TV viewership.
Garcia's comments suggest league officials are trying to calm player concerns about the tour's stability. However, details about LIV's financial situation remain unclear as the speculation continues.
LIV Golf has paid millions to top players like Garcia and changed professional golf forever. If it collapses, it could reshape the sport again and leave players in limbo about their careers and contracts.
Watch for official statements from LIV Golf about the collapse rumors and the Mexico tournament results this week.
