LIV Golf secures ‘lead investor’ until 2030 but future of star names still uncertain

LIV Golf has secured a 'lead investor' to fund its operations through 2030, with CEO Scott O'Neil announcing plans for the tour's 'next generation' on Wednesday while declining to reveal the identities of the new funders. The deal comes after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund withdrew its backing, forcing O'Neil into an urgent effort to save the tour. Despite the funding agreement, high-profile players such as Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm remain uncertain to stay, with departures possible by the end of the year.
